First formed in Newcastle over thirty years ago the Newcastle Creative Embroiderers and Textile Artists have been bringing together dynamic textile artists of all skill levels to share, learn and exhibit.

Workshops cover embroidery, machine embellishment, dyeing, felting, beading and elements of design. Most are given by our own members but there are also special workshops taught by nationally recognised teachers.

All members receive a monthly newsletter which details the workshop information for each meeting and to inform everyone about upcoming exhibitions and members’ news. There is an extensive Library of informative and inspirational books and magazines.

WHERE: Bel-Air Baptist Church Hall
1 Madison Drive Adamstown Heights.
(near Garden City)

WHEN: The third Saturday and the third Monday
of each month from 10am to 2pm
