EAC Courses

The Embroiderers' Association of Canada, founded in 1973, is the parent organization of the Ottawa Valley Guild of Stitchery.

As a member of the OVGS one automatically becomes a member to the Embroiderers' Association of Canada, which entitles the member to the Association's book, slide and video libraries; study portfolios; books on crewel, counted thread and canvas embroidery; individual and group correspondence courses in embroidery techniques from basic to advanced levels; the quarterly magazine Embroidery Canada, workshops and seminars; exhibitions, competitions and awards.

All members should endeavour to fulfill the following purpose:

To encourage and promote the practice and knowledge of the art of embroidery in all its forms;

To have a fellowship of persons who enjoy needlework and wish to learn and share their knowledge; and thereby to work towards maintaining higher standards of design, colour and workmanship.

The Embroiderers' Association of Canada offers a variety of courses geared to all levels of skill: individual basic, intermediate and advanced, as well as group and cyber courses. Something for everyone. There are no pre-requisites to the basic courses. Consult the links below for additional information.
