Free Stitches

This course is offered free of charge to all Guild members. This is half day class for those who are not familiar with the more common stitches used in embroidery.  A "must" for those beginners wishing to do other classes in the future. 

Embroidery Techniques

These classes were started a few years ago to enable Guild members to learn how to do various types of embroidery, learn the skills and to be confident enough to "have a go" at being creative with their own ideas. These classes provide members with a structured program in various types of embroidery. To undertake the Basic Embroidery Techniques course, you must have done the free basic stitches class. These classes are also available to any Guild member on a "one off" basis. Click here for a list of classes being offered currently and in the near future.
