Welcome to the Blog for the City of York Branch of the Embroiderers' Guild
Everyone is welcome from beginner to expert.
Our regular Saturday morning needle workshops run from 10.00 - 12.30 and are informal and friendly - just pop in. The morning is a chance to catch up socially. At the same time we run a Stitch Club for those wanting to learn or to stretch their skills.
The afternoon meeting takes place from 2.00 - 4.00(ish) with the doors open from about 1:30, and features guest speakers, national and local, from a variety of backgrounds - please refer to the programme page for more detail. We also have the library open, a sales table, the speaker's work is also usually on display and workshop/dayschool bookings take place.
You are welcome for the whole day or just the morning or afternoon. Lunches and snacks are available, if you wish, from the cafe at the Folk Hall.
We also have a 'Social Stitching' meet up on the evening of the second Monday of every month at the Trafalgar Bay pub in Nunnery Lane, York. Check out our Facebook page for more details.
