The Guild is in the process of transferring its membership management to a new service.
While this change is happening, it will not be possible to purchase a Guild Membership.
Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible!
This will not affect the purchase of tickets for events, or access to the Members Area. Members logging in may see some ‘work in progress’ placeholders. Access to, and the ability to purchase any of our ‘Inspired to Create’ Courses on Teachable will also not be affected.
Annual Adult Membership will cost £42 from the 1st Sept 2024
If you would like to join the Embroiderers’ Guild, please revisit this site in late August. Thank you
