What is ANZEG?

The Association is the National Body representing over 3,000 members in more than 60 Guilds throughout New Zealand . These guilds are represented by an Executive composed of a President, Secretary, Treasurer, Education Co-ordinator, Tours Co-ordinator, Threads Editor, Resources Custodian and seven Regional Representatives. We exchange information with other Guilds around the world and take part in international embroidery events.
