About Us
The branch is based in Hampshire and was founded in 1963. It is affiliated to the internationally recognised Embroiderers’ Guild, which embraces all areas of embroidery and is proud to be recognised as a voice for raising the profile of textile and stitched art. Don't let the "Guild" in our name put you off - there is nothing stuffy or exclusive about us! Textile art covers so much more than just fabric and thread and Winchester Embroiderers' Guild is a lively branch with over 70 members, who have a huge range of interests, experience and skills. Our members enjoy getting together and hearing speakers talk about all sorts of embroidery, textiles and related subjects including:
traditional and contemporary embroidery
mixed media and patchwork
lace, felt and beading
historical and ethnic work
We welcome everyone from complete beginners to experienced textile artists. You can be a traditional hand-stitcher, a machine textile artist who enjoys working on bold and contemporary designs or anything in between. You do not have to be a practising textile artist, just having an interest in textile art will suffice.
There are monthly meetings as well as a number of workshops every year and an informal stitching group that meets in the morning before branch meetings. We also have two active Young Embroiderers’ Groups who meet in the school holidays. We hold regular competitions, challenges and exhibitions. Click here to see a beautiful embroidery of Winchester completed by Guild members in 1988 that is displayed in the Royal Hampshire County Hospital.
Visitors are always made most welcome at our meetings and we hold occasional coffee mornings for new members. Please contact the branch for more information about visiting or joining Winchester Embroiderers' Guild.
