Lucet cord class at the SCA Festival of the SnowEaters
While pretty much every SCA event has moved online, the upcoming November 7th Samhain event is no different. Oddly (?) for the past few years I haven’t been very involved in the SCA, but with things moving online, all of the accessibility (and other) issues that plagued me with in-person SCA events are mostly gone!
With that in mind, I offered to join the team working to make the event happen. The Baron wanted to focus on classes and Bardic, so I’m putting out a call for volunteer instructors for the classes!
There is no strong theme, so we’re pretty open to any classes that suit the SCA, and are functional with the online medium.

However, in order to help some folks folks who have such huge inventories of classes to choose from….
- Our Baron’s main persona is German Renaissance, so I’d like to include German Renaissance related classes
- Our Baroness is Viking, so Viking-related classes would be great
- I’ve felt in the past that culinary is under-represented at TUA and A&S, so would like to include culinary classes
- Likewise, I feel that family activities / youth-centric classes are under-represented, so would like to include classes around family activities or classes specifically for youth to attend online. (Given that many children are doing schooling online, I recognize that they might be online-school’d out however.)
- I’m super excited about the new Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and would love to included classes in that area – especially around making SCA accessible to people, regardless of wealth, education, physical ability, neuro-diversity, religion, gender identity, race, etc.
- And of course…. anything bardic related – from dance, music, song, performance…. any classes relevant to the bards.
On a personal note, I’d also love to include hat-making and Finnish Iron Age classes as well!
If you’re interested in teaching – please drop me a line on Facebook! The event will be in Mountain Standard Time, and is scheduled for November 7th (though I’m told if there’s enough interest November 8th is an additional option).
Join us!

There isn’t a Facebook event yet, but one will be coming. In the meantime you can see what’s happening on the Montengarde website calendar –Â of course I’d love any of my readers to join in too if you’re interested!
