The Rocky Mountain Region (RMR) supports our EGA national educational goals and opportunities. RMR specifically provides support for region chapters and members as they enhance their embroidery skills and appreciation for the needle arts. We do so by offering region members free or reduced cost lectures and virtual classes each year. We also sponsor periodic in-person events which include classes, lectures, tours, and/or stitching time, in an enjoyable atmosphere. Region activities and events are open to all RMR members and may also be open to other EGA members or non-members, depending on the event.
Numerous educational embroidery and embroidery related activities, including classes and lectures, are available through National EGA. Information can be found on the national website: National EGA website.
Upcoming RMR Education Events:
All lectures are free for Rocky Mountain Region Chapter members
Most of these lectures will not be recorded.
