This will be based on Marc Drogin’s Medieval Calligraphy, Its History and Technique plus some of my own research on italics for you later period types.

Æsileif Geirfinnsdottir – Cheese making - Come join me in learning how to make simple farmer cheese. We will make it and eat it in class. Please bring a drink to class, crackers make you thirsty.

Aoife Ruadh - Writing in Runes The Basics of Elder Futhark - Runic alphabets were used as early as the 2nd centuries and some forms remained in use until the 13th Century.  The basic symbols were angular and easy to carve into items, but the designs also carried significant meanings related to daily life and religious beliefs.  This class will take students through two types of runic alphabets, Elder Futhark (Germanic) and the later Younger Futhark (Scandinavian), including the meanings and a basic tutorial in how to translate our language into rune script for fun and meaningful decoration for clothing and personal items.

Micola – Silk Fan Making – Learn the basics of silk painting. We will be using modern materials to paint a silk fan. You may bring a design. Supply fee is $5. Limit 9. Observers welcome. 
Isabelle – Intro to Historical Music in the SCA – Have you enjoyed the live music you sometimes hear at events? Do you wish there was live music at an event, but it wasn’t there? Have you ever wanted to join the musicians, or possibly start up your own group, but you’re intimidated by the strange instruments and unfamiliar tunes? Are you a bard, and you’ve been wanting more information for period correct pieces? This class is a discussion group with a focus on encouraging people to give historical music a try. We will help you find resources for historical music as well as how to get period (or “period-ish”) instrument without having to take out a second mortgage. My personal focus is instrumental consort music, but if you are a soloist or a vocalist, you are certainly welcome to join. Since this is just a discussion, prior musical knowledge is not required (but would be helpful). Newcomers to veterans of early music are all welcome.

Domingo – What was worn under there? - This will be a brief look at undergarments from the 14th to 16th Centuries. Whether you prefer briefs, boxers, or the precursor to the g-string, we will discuss them. There will be illustrations from historical sources and modern interpretation of the patterns.

Katya – basket weaving – No underwater basket weaving here! We will make an 8” melon basket perfect for caring those little things that you need at an event. Colors will be available for you to choose from to make the basket your own. We will discuss some history and materials while we work. You will be dealing with water and dyed materials, please dress appropriately. (limit 6, age 12+) Fee $5
