Historically, Khayameiya is an artform where Egyptian tentmakers sewed complex decorative interiors for urban tents, providing spectacular temporary venues for public and private events.

Join us for a 2-day workshop that focuses on the introduction to the tradition of Egyptian khayameiya-making. Throughout the workshop, participants will explore the traditional aesthetic and the techniques used in khayameiya-making along with contemporary visuals to produce their very own hybrid piece.
