[Scriptoris] Fwd: [ANSTHRLD] Opportunities to teach

[Hillary Greenslade]

Greetings Scribes, 
I'm forwarding the following missive from Mistress Clare, Tressure Herald in charge of Heraldic
education, as many of the event dates will work for scribes as well... so put your thinking cap on
and consider teaching a class at some of these events.  Or ask a scribe whose work you admire to
teach their technique or process, so all may enjoy sharing their knowledge.  

Lots of great opportunities this summer and fall...

Oh, one more event - Gulf Wars this March. If too late to enter your class in the handbook, you
can still sign up to teach scribal classes at the Scribes building - and check it often for ad-hoc
classes listed during the week.  

Cheers, Hillary, Star Signet

> Sept 8-10 is Laurel's Prize Tourney and while I wouldn't think people will

> Please consider teaching, attending or helping out at any of these
