Embroidery: Another Story of Palestinian Culture

Embroidery, an inseparable part of rural women’s lives, is a folk art passed down from mothers to daughters, who in turn pass it on to future generations. The moment a young girl can handle a needle with her tiny fingers, her mother begins teaching her this ancient craft. She learns the art of embroidery—a harmonious blend of intertwined colors.

Women practice embroidery to reflect Palestinian culture, applying their skills while spending their free time in a productive activity that gives them a valuable opportunity to contribute alongside men and earn an income.
