For its 2025–2026 programme, the OVGS is keeping the warmth of the summer sun throughout the year with a selection of classes on the theme of "A Day at the Seaside". Once again this year, we have something for everyone - two classes suitable for beginners and one class that will definitely pique the interest of those who enjoy a bit of a challenge. Classes take place during monthly in-person meetings, on the third Wednesday of the month.

Since the pandemic, our Guild has continued to grow in size and many of our new members are keen to expand their embroidery skills. For the 2024-2025 Programme year, OVGS has developed a schedule of classes which focuses on introductory techniques for thread painting, Brazilian embroidery, blackwork and goldwork. These projects are also challenging enough that we believe they will be of interest to all! Classes take place during monthly in-person meetings, third Wednesday of the month.

We welcome our new Programme Chair, Kimberley Dacres, and thank our outgoing Programme Chair, Gosia Niedbala, for all her hard work over the past years putting together an excellent programme of courses.

The theme for 2023-2024 is BIRDS. We have an owl, a rooster, a hen and chicks, all stitched using different techniques.
Thanks to our Programme Chair, Gosia, and her excellent team of teachers for putting together this exciting and beautiful mix of classes and techniques for all of us to learn.
