Guild Classes

The Guild conducts a wide range of courses throughout the year. These are advertised in the newsletter and here on the website. A few weeks before a class is held, samples are displayed in the Embroiderers' Hall, Gorman House, Braddon.

On 3 and 4 October Liz Maidment will be visiting us from the Provence region in France and to teach her own style of embroidery focussing on scenes from Provence. She is a celebrated embroiderer in France and has exhibited in Switzerland, Monte Carlo and other cities in France.
