Participants in the Renaissance Hand stitching class at Grand TUA 2018

This is an annual event consisting mostly of classes, though some social aspects, SCA court, and martial activities are also included.

Finished bead hanger
One of the artisans in my SCA Barony offered to teach a bronze casting class in early November. His offer was to cast either an early or later-period sword pommel, but then also offered that students could cast another reasonably flat object if they wouldn’t use a pommel.
One student asked about a penannular brooch, but I had something different in mind – bead hangers in the style of a 9th century Finnish find.
Different parts of the hat are flared to different amounts
At the SCA event Yule in the barony of Borealis (mundanely Edmonton) I’ve offered to teach a class on pattern drafting for millinery (hats).
The event takes place December 9-10, 2017. The Facebook event for more information is here.
Lucet cord class at the SCA Festival of the SnowEaters
I attended Festival of the Snoweaters in October, and it’s taken me this long to get to the few photos I took to share them…
I taught two classes – Introduction to naalbinding, and Introduction to lucet.
My finished cotton hankie from the indigo dyeing class
You might recall that in a previous post I mentioned ‘tie dyeing’ with indigo natural dyes, and that at a class I had another chance to try this out. This class took place at Harvest Feast, an SCA event in September as part of the Shire of Bitter End.
This post will share photos and some information from that class… though some of the insights from our instructor I also shared in the previous indigo-related posts!
