Workshops and classes are held in addition throughout the year.
An extensive library is available for members who may borrow any item of interest. It's a great resource for learning new techniques.
The branch publishes its own emailed newsletter in the first week of each month. Threadlines, the monthly newsletter of The Embroiderers Guild, Victoria, is also emailed to members.
All members are entitled to participate in any activities organised by Melbourne or by other branches.
The Ballarat branch showcases their members' work at a biennial exhibition and, in the alternate year, runs the Autumn Leaves Seminar with renowned tutors teaching various workshops.
The branch actively supports other community events with demonstrations and displays.
