Norse Apron Dress and Underdress/Tunic Construction

An introduction to the Japanese dying style of sewn shibori

Let's talk about the History of the English Language! We'll hit on English's roots as part of the Proto-Indo-European family, it's evolution through Old and Middle English, and the common tongue at the time of Elizabeth.

Putting together your sca resume

This is the edited OODA Loop class minus some of the drill work. I think in total it was about a 2 hour class with breaks and drills so this is shortened down to 1 hr

Looking at the history, style and basic techniques of Opus Anglicanum

This class is a bit different. It is based on Elena Wyth's research labeled: "I've got a piece of Parchment - now what?"
NOTE: no parchment-in-hand required to play along. Substitutions listed below.
Come and learn how to prepare a piece of parchment for illumination or calligraphy.
You will need:
- a piece of parchment (stretched & dried animal skin) or a substitution of a heavy brown paper bag or some watercolor paper.
- a piece of sandpaper (220 or fiber grit preferred)
- chalk (calcium carbonate) or a clean eggshell
- a 3'x3' porous cloth (bandana or handkerchief is fine) and a rubber band/tie.
- paints and/or calligraphy pen to use to test.
Optional:
- a cuttlefish (from a petstore)
- gum sandarac
I will refer to Elena's website, rather than make a separate handout for this: https://elenawyth.wordpress.com

Come and learn a simple illumination technique - or just draw and paint along with me.
You will need a pencil & eraser and either gouache paint, some other paint, or - in a pinch - colored markers, a bottle of white-out, a yellow highlighter, and a fine black pen.
