Each of the 2-day workshops take place over a weekend at Camelot in Perth, with enough time to practice or prepare new work for the next one. Early bird pricing is available until August 9 for the workshops. There is more detail about the workshops here https://www.makerandsmith.com.au/e/susie-vickery-workshops/

10.01.2022 Today was the last day of the Guild’s 2020 BOM class - Long Time Gone Stitching. This canvaswork embroidery design by Ann-Marie Anderson-Mayes is based on Jen Kingwell’s quilt, Long Time Gone. We think you will agree that the students have done a spectacular job, especially as the class had to switch to online teaching during lock down earlier in the year.

08.01.2022 This might interest embroiderers, especially in the textile section, or 3D.

05.01.2022 The 'Constructing & Finishing Techniques' workshop seemed it would be such a dry topic but instead proved lively and engaging with so much sharing of information from the local guild tutor - Faye Phillip. Cushion covers, book covers, inserting embroidery into other projects, fastenings, needle cases. Each project done with such an amazingly simple technique.
