ARTS & SCIENCES

  • A&S Socials (Newark, DE): 1st Wednesday of every month
    The first Wednesday of each month, from 6-9pm, we will gather at the home of our Minister of A&S, Simona della Luna, located at 613 Timber Wood Blvd., Newark, DE 19702 (unless otherwise noted).
  • A&S Nights (Dover, DE): 4th Thursday of every month
    Theme: We are going back to basics with the thing that is the foundation of many different types of arts: THREAD. So let’s dive deep into all things string, rope, cord, floss, fiber, yarn, filament, and twine! If you have a related or adjacent topic you are willing to teach, let me know!

    The fourth Thursday of each month, from 6-8pm, we will be with Lady Dionise O’Towe, A&S Minister (South) in Dover, DE. See the Shire Calendar for the address. Please be aware that there are cats here. It’s okay to park in the driveway. Please plan to arrive and leave promptly 6pm to 8pm. My house is not young child-friendly, sorry. You can reach me via Messenger Chat and I will gladly share my contact information that way, but not posting it for bots and weirdos!

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!

MEDIEVAL GAMES NIGHT (garb optional, but encouraged)
Happen now and again. We try to announce these programs in advance/ as soon as they’re scheduled.  Please feel free to bring an edible or potable treat to share. We have bocce outside (weather permitting) and various other medieval games inside. If you have a favorite game, bring it!  See our calendar for date, time and location.
