The New England Region of EGA is planning an innovative and exciting seminar to be held May 13-16, 2027 in Burlington, Vermont.
We expect to have “star” local guest lecturers at our event, and to complement them we want to offer classes that will emphasize creativity and innovation in embroidery, as well as providing a pleasant stitching experience for attendees. We also welcome suggestions for “non-project-based” classes on techniques, history or other areas of group interest. Not everyone wants to go home with three unfinished projects.
We hope you will consider submitting a suggestion for a class of this nature. We are planning to offer both one- and two-day classes. The teaching fee is $450 per day, plus travel expenses. Please let us know what you would be interested in offering by or soon after February 1, 2026.
We are flexible as to the documentation required. . Obviously the more you have, the better we can understand your vision. A brief description, with a photo or sketch if project-based would get us started. Sample instructions, a summary of materials and techniques would be helpful. We don’t want you to turn yourself inside out for a proposal- just give us enough to understand your direction and inspiration. A brief bio would also be helpful. A proposal form is available here if that helps.
Contact us at neregion20@gmail.com with proposals or if you need more information.
Thank you for your consideration!
