All meetings begin at 7:00 pm and will be held at my humble abode unless noted otherwise. If you have any questions or would like to request a class, please contact me directly! Also, I wanted to say that even if you are not interested in the specific class being taught, you are more than welcome to attend the meeting just to socialize and work on your own (quiet) A&S projects. Should you be interested in teaching (doesn't have to be hands-on), I would love to hear from you!<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold;">November 8th - </span><br>HE Adena will be teaching crewel embroidery. <b>Crewel Embroidery</b>,
or <b>Crewelwork</b>, is a decorative form of surface embroidery using wool and a variety of different embroidery stitches to follow a design outline applied to the fabric. It is relatively quick to do and looks fantastic, so come ready to learn!<br><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">December 13th - </span><br>This meeting will be held at the Hidden Castle (1309 24th Ave SW, Norman, OK 73072) to make full use of their large working area.<br>We will be painting new signs for the Barony to put out for events. Also, we will have sewing machines and fabric to work on some of the B&B's list of projects given out at the November Populace meeting. Come out and help the Barony!<br><br style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">January 10th -</span><br>This meeting will be held at Baron Donnchadh's home<br>HE Donnchadh will be teaching silk painting for banners and the like.<br><br><span
style="font-weight: bold;">February 7th </span>(since the second Monday is Valentine's day, we will be shifting this meeting up a bit)<br>HE Annabelle Marie Fitzsimmons will be teaching inkle weaving. <br>In order to have enough supplies prepared, we are going to have to know about class attendance ahead of time. Please contact me by Feb. 1 at the absolute latest to let me know if you would like to attend (and want to have a kit to learn with). If you do not need or want a supply kit, you are more than welcome to just show up the night of the class to chat with us and share any knowledge you may have about this wonderful art!<br><br><br>Finally, I made a request at populace tonight for donations to create a kind of "loaner gear" for A&S. I would like to keep the Barony of Namron from having to foot the bill
for this - and I know we all have A&S supplies and tools that are
just sitting unused in our craft rooms and closets that we've been
wanting to get rid of. What I'm looking for are general supplies and tools that would be used by a beginner looking to learn more about a given art without having a huge outlay of cash. Any tools (this includes looms, kumihimo boards, etc) will be the property of the Barony and will have to be checked out and returned. Supplies will be free to those just beginning in a craft or if they are used to create prizes or items for Baronial use. Donations of money will be accepted to help purchase storage and supplies. If you have anything you would like to donate, please contact me either via email or phone (664-6525) and we can arrange a time and place for pick up.<br><br><br>YIS,<br>Lady Droen O'Rourke<br>Namron Minister of Arts & Science<br><br>I have a personal calendar of A&S events that I keep updated here: <a href="http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?src=bmFtcm9ubW9hc0BnbWFpbC5jb20">namronmoas@gmail.com
