June 2 Armor Making & Repair Fighter Practice!

Posted on by

WHEN
Sunday, June 2, 2019 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

WHERE
Hosted by Magnus Wolfhunte (Mark Schroy) and Lady Mott (Ellie Wood) at Mark’s home:  514 Wheelmen St., Middletown, DE 19709.

ARMOR MAKING & REPAIR
Our normal weekly fighter practice is getting a “tricked-out” upgrade! We’ll be convening at our most-noble Knight Marshal’s sweet chateau to cut pickle barrel, bang rivets, offer advice, consultation, and maybe some good-natured teasing for the area’s fighters as we build and improve our armor. Unsure what to do with a piece? We can rebuild it. We have the technology. We can make it better, stronger, faster!

Don’t need to repair or build anything? Come out anyway! Practice WILL be held in a nearby field. We might knock a few rivets loose for you while we’re at it!

BRING
Bring canopies or day shades for the park. There are no trees or shade in this new neighborhood development at this point. It’ll be a good primer for fighting at Pennsic!

POTLUCK BBQ
Let us know what you’ll bring to the BBQ… see what everyone else in bringing… see who is going and get updates on the Shire Facebook event.

May 7 A&S Night-Glass Beads

Posted on by

Greetings!  Join us for this monthly, informal gathering where we work on A & S projects together.  Come with your own project or learn something new!  Dress is modern.

WHEN
Tuesday, May 7, 2019 from 7:00 to 9:00 pm.

WHERE
The home of Baroness Hedewigis, 1604 Old Wilmington Road, Hockessin, DE 19707.

INTRODUCTION TO GLASS BEADS
All are welcome!  It’s quite a bit of fun so please stop by if you’ve ever wanted to try it or have done it occasionally and want to do more.  Baroness Amarie and Lady Mairi will have a wide array of colors to use to make and leave with your very own bead(s) at the end of the evening!

Preparing for the class:

  • HAIR:  If you have hair that can (reasonably) be pulled back, please prepare to do so. We don’t want anyone getting an accidental style change!
  • SHOES:  Wear close-toed shoes.
  • CLOTHING:  Wear, if at all possible, natural fibers, and if you have loose sleeves be prepared to tie them down.  They might catch on something otherwise.
  • SAFETY GOGGLES:  If you have safety goggles and can bring them it would be appreciated, although it’s not mandatory.  We will have some to share.

EVERY MONTH
Baroness Hedewigis hosts an A&S Night on the first Tuesday of every month starting at 7:00 pm.  Contact Baroness Hedewigis 302-239-9787 if you have trouble getting to her home, which is a red barn.  Carpooling to the site is highly encouraged.
