NECKLINE OPTIONS FOR BASIC T-TUNICS

Come, learn about Neckline Options for the basic t-tunic!

VIKING WHIPCORD
Baroness Hedewigis will teach us how to make Viking Whipcord (with the Bobbins we made last month… or bring your own bobbins).

Viking whipcording is fun, fast, and easy way of braiding to make big, strong and decorative cords.  The Vikings use heavy bobbins to control the ends of the thread, which are attached overhead firmly; and the bobbins are then manipulated to form the cord while the weight of the bobbins controls the threads and keeps tension.

ILLUMINATED BOOKMARKS
Lady Mari will be teach us how to illuminate a bookmark.  An illuminated manuscript is a manuscript in which the text is supplemented with decoration including initials, borders, marginalia, and miniature illustrations. Rather than an entire manuscript, we’ll illuminate a smaller piece, a bookmark!

Hope to see you all there!

QUEEN’S GOWN
We have been given the opportunity to create an outfit for the Queen to wear at Queen’s Bardic Championship on February 22.  Let’s showcase all the amazing work people in the Shire do and make the project a collaborative effort (a bit of inspiration shown here).

I would like to try to get everyone hands on it no matter how new they are.

If your art is something that you might not immediately associate with making a dress, like glass making, metal work, wood carving, or scribal… I have ideas on ways to incorporate these types of things into the overall project.

So, come on out!

WHIPCORD BOBBINS
Baroness Hedewigis will teach us how to make Viking Whipcord Bobbins.

Viking whipcording (or interlocking, slyngyng, or even spoon tossing) is fun, fast, and easy way of braiding cords to make big, strong and more decorative cords.  The Vikings use heavy bobbins to control the ends of the thread. The beginning of the cord is attached overhead firmly and the bobbins are manipulated to form the cord while the weight of the bobbins controls the threads and keeps tension.

COST
There is a cost for this class of around $12. If you don’t wish to take part in the class you are welcome to bring a project of your own to work on while you’re there.
