<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><BR>Having trouble coming up with gifts for
your friends at Twelfth Night?<BR>Well, this is the collegium for you! We are
having classes on making<BR>gifts that anyone will be delighted to
receive.<BR>We are in debt to The Wooden Spoon as they have graciously allowed
us to<BR>use their facilities for this event. The address is 1617 Avenue K
in<BR>Plano. <BR>This is not a "garb" event.<BR>There will be a potluck lunch at
the site. Please bring something to<BR>contribute to the lunch. We request that
you bring real food, not just<BR>chips and dips. Suggestions might be
sandwiches, cold meats, side dishes<BR>such as slaw, salad, green bean salad,
etc., maybe some chips or baked<BR>beans (cold or in a crock pot), pickles and
olives, deviled eggs, etc.<BR>Please bring items that need refrigeration in a
cooler. Of course, a<BR>dessert or two would be nice--a fruit platter is a light
option for<BR>dessert. Does that give you a few ideas? THIS IS A DRY SITE.
<BR>Please note that this is NOT specifically targeted for either men
or<BR>women. It is for anyone with an interest in making some gifts. <BR>Classes
will start at 9:30 AM and end at 4:30 PM. Morning classes will<BR>start at 9:30
AM and end at 12:30 PM and afternoon classes will start at<BR>1:30 PM and end at
4:30 PM. The lunch break will be from 12:30 PM to 1:30<BR>PM. Class listings,
etc. are listed below. Please note that we will be<BR>running on real time, not
SCA time.<BR>Morning Classes:<BR>Bead Rings. Instructor: HL Suzanna the
Herbalist (MKA Sue Rogers). This<BR>class will show you how to make rings using
beads and wire. If you have<BR>jewelers pliers (round nose or flat nose), bring
them. Ring mandrels and<BR>rawhide mallets would be helpful too. $3.00 Cost for
materials and<BR>handout.<BR>Cordial Making. Instructor: Lady Liadan Bregh (MKA
Karen Cleek). This<BR>class will be a demonstration of cordial making basics. A
handout will be<BR>available.<BR>Belt Book. Instructor: Lady Fionnuala the Fey
(MKA Elizabeth Peters) This<BR>will be, hopefully, a make-it and take-it. (I am
currently finalizing<BR>materials list, etc. and will post more information
later).<BR>Soap Making. Instructor: Lady Anne the Spinster (MKA Donna Mallory)
This<BR>class will be held outside (due to fumes) under a pavilion but be sure
to<BR>dress for our changeable Texas weather. There will be a
handout<BR>available.<BR>Afternoon Classes<BR>Embroidered Pouches. Instructor:
HL Suzanna the Herbalist (MKA Sue<BR>Rogers). This class will show you how to
make small embroidered muslin<BR>pouches. Please bring an embroidery hoop and
some fabric if you have some<BR>you want to use. Basic embroidery knowledge
required. We will have some<BR>muslin and floss available. $1.00 cost for
handout.<BR>Cordial Making. This will be a repeat of the morning demo.<BR>Belt
Book. This will be a repeat of the morning class. <BR>I am currently putting
together a handout of sorts with various recipes<BR>and hints for Twelfth Night
and mundane Christmas gifts. This will be<BR>available for a nominal charge for
the cost of the copies. Currently, it<BR>is about 16 pages but more will be
added.<BR>In service to the dream,<BR>Lady Fionnuala the Fey for<BR>Lord
