About Us

The Embroiderers' Guild NSW is a membership body for anyone and everyone who loves to stitch or would love to learn. Founded in 1957, we have around 1000 members and over 50 groups throughout New South Wales.

People of all ages and walks of life join the Guild for all sorts of reasons: following their creative urge; mastery of a new skill; a love of traditional crafts; memories of learning from mum or grandma; the company of like-minded people - just to name a few!

The Guild’s headquarters in Concord West is now a 3 storey 'Centre of Excellence for Embroidery'. It has multiple gallery spaces, a lift, several specialised workshops areas.  It is full of things embroiderers love and will make you want to linger longer!  Come and visit: Location and Opening Times


Gallery 76 Exhibition Gallery

As a visual medium, embroideries are best seen in person to be appreciated. The Guild holds regular exhibitions that are open to the public. There are six distinctive zones to our exhibition space that span all three floors of the building.  The largest gallery space is contained on ground floor (a combination of Galleries 1 - 4) and we have more intimate spaces for display on Level 1 (Gallery 5) and Level 2 (Gallery 6) with exceptional access to natural light.  All of the areas are universally accessible by lift.
