Description:	'Seeking the Syrian Stitch' was a workshop which took place at Zaatari Refugee Camp, Jordan with 30 women who wished to train professionally in embroidery. The collaboration was also used to capture the individual stories of the women's lives as refugees and to experiment with new forms of stitches - stitches, which might symbolically represent what it means to be Syrian now, after 10 years of displacement from home.
