A&S Socials Are Continuing!

Posted on by

Come on Out! Bring a project, bring a friend, visit with friends and new comers! Everyone is welcome! There is no fee, no garb required.

WHEN & WHERE
The first Wednesday of each month, from 6-9pm.  See our Calendar for locations.

Generally the first hour of our Socials will be a class, with the remaining time used for projects and socializing. These gatherings provide an opportunity to work on your A&S projects in good company. Trying a new stitch? Need tasters for your medieval recipe? Crafting in leather or metal wire? Or, if you’re having trouble with a project or a research question, bring it with you and we can figure it out together. Come with your own project or learn something new!

CURRENT SCHEDULE for 2024

Wed., 5 June – Project management for artisans
Manage your time and resources effectively and prevent burn out so your result truly showcases your skills. No prior experience with project management is needed; and buzzwords will be kept to a minimum. We will briefly cover digital tools, but everything we will teach can be handled with a pad of paper and some sticky notes.

Wed., 3 July – Pennsic War prep and general kit maintenance
Even if you’re not going to Pennsic this year, now is a great time to assess the state of your general SCA kit and garb and see to any needed repairs or upgrades. We’ll cover basic leather care, simple garb repairs and alterations, and ideas for easy-to-make garb for hot weather. If you use a packing list or other planning tools feel free to bring it and share with us!

Wed., 7 August – Period table games: Alquerque, Glückshaus, and more
Learn the rules and a bit of history for several period table games, then play them. We will be using instructions from TheRavensTable.org. Feel free to look them up online if you want to learn ahead of the meeting.

Wed., 4 September – Heraldic display!
Bright banners, decorated shields, and color-coded allies are a key part of our game. Learn all about ways to incorporate heraldic display into your SCA kit. We will cover general concepts and principles as well as specific techniques for making garden-flag sized tent labels, and for appliqué.
