CEG, London

The Guild operates as a teaching organization that works to preserve and foster the art of embroidery, needlework, and fibre art. Stitchers of all levels of skill and experience are welcome, encouraged and supported. Instruction and presentations on embroidery, needlework, fibre art, and associated subjects are promoted and provided to both its members and the public.

Our member volunteers are the key to our success through the planning and delivery of instruction, maintaining our library, sourcing resources, outreach projects and administration of the Guild.
