Otago Embroiderers’ Guild

We're a friendly group always willing to help with support, friendly advise with lots of fun and inspiration. The Guild has a monthly meeting, held at Leith Bowling Club, 2 Duke Street, Woodhaugh, Dunedin. Evening meetings are held on the fourth Thursday in the following months: Jan, Feb, March, April, Sept, Oct, Nov. Day meetings are held each fourth Saturday in the following months: May, June, July, August. There is a weekly group workshop on a Thursday morning. Workshop is an informal stitch group open to all Guild members, held each Thursday morning 9.30 – 11.45am at the Senior Citizens Rooms Lower Octagon. Cost $1 for tea/coffee. This Thursday group is quite informal but provides great support for all abilities of people who wish to stitch. There is also a project group which meets on the second Thursday evening of each month, at 7pm at the Mornington Presbyterian Church. All members strive to keep the art of stitch alive through learning and passing on their knowledge to other members. If you have the need to learn more about our Guild or wish to join us stitching, do not hesitate to contact us. We always welcome new members. In 2021 we formed the Ōtepoti Dunedin Embroidery School (ODES). Throughout the year the Otago Embroiderers’ Guild has organised six classes spread over several weekends.
