>
> Come one. Come all. The Barony of the Steppes wishes to announce our July
> mini-collegium. The focus of this mini-collegium will be the glass arts.
> The proposed classes and instructors are listed below.
> This Steppes Mini-Collegium on the glass arts will be held Saturday, July
> 27, 2002, starting at 9:00 AM.
> LOCATION: Garland Civic Theatre
> 108 North 6th
> Garland, Texas
> This is on the downtown square in Garland. We will have SCA signs marking
> the location. This is on 6th Street between Main and State. Look for the
> green awning. Park around the square, or, there is a parking lot at State
> and 5th if the square is full.
> All of the classes will be "make and takes" allowing the participants
> hands-on time to complete their projects. Those attending can participate
> in as many of the classes as they wish and that time will allow.
> Lady Rixende de Rouen and Lady Ameline duBois will be teaching glass
> beadmaking. Using a small torch and glass rods, participants will learn
> to make glass beads of various shapes, sizes, and styles.
> Lady Asa Hrafnasdottir will be teaching point engraving on glass. Asa
> will have some small glass plates available for projects, so if you want
> to try your hand at a goblet or something larger, please bring it. She
> will also have period designs available, but if you want to engrave a
> particular design (such as your personal device) please bring that design
> with you.
> HL Suzanna the Herbalist (and possibly Cairenne) will be teaching glass
> enameling on copper. Projects will be beads made from copper tubing; some
> flat copper disks will be available for anyone wishing to try enameling
> them.
> HL Julianna Vertue will be teaching the leading of stained glass. Each
> participant will cut glass, lead, solder and glaze a 9 inch shield shaped
> panel. A variety of colored glass will be available for these projects.
> While time will not permit fired painting on glass, Julianna will discuss
> how glass was painted, stained, and fired in period and have "faux" glass
> paints available for anyone who would like to try them.
> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
> IMPORTANT INFORMATION
> Wearing of garb is NOT recommended for glasswork; dress comfortably in
> long cotton pants and a cotton t-shirt or similar. Sandals and shorts are
> not recommended. If you have protective glasses, please bring them.
> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
> There will be a potluck lunch at the site. Please bring something to
> contribute to the lunch. We request that you bring real food, not just
> chips and dips. Suggestions might be sandwiches, cold meats, side dishes
> such as slaw, salad, green bean salad, etc., maybe some chips or baked
> beans (cold or in a crock pot), pickles and olives, deviled eggs, etc.
> Since it will probably be quite warm, anything that could go bad like
> potato salad would probably need to be in a bowl of ice. Of course, a
> dessert or two would be nice--a fruit platter is a light option for
> dessert. Does that give you a few ideas? THIS IS A DRY SITE.
>
> Please note that this is NOT specifically targeted for either men or
> women.  It is for anyone with an interest in the glass arts.
