Members of the Society for Creative Anachronism strive to recreate all
pleasant aspects of the Middle Ages and Renaissance, especially the Arts and
Sciences that surrounded people alive between AD 600 - AD 1600.
Members produce works as varied as illuminated manuscript pages, armor,
woven cloth and bands, medieval and renaissance jewelry, paintings,
clothing, woodcrafts, and many other items. These pieces are created
using the makers best attempt at a period style and with as many period
materials as are available.

Upcoming Arts and Sciences
Competitions in Eskalya
Time for Tewder - Leeks in food
Yule - Medieval
Craftsmen's Challenge
I, Cynehild Cynesigesdohtor, Arts and Science
Champion of Eskalya, challenge all artisans and artificers to
produce an item for entry into the Medieval Craftsman's Challenge to
become the next A&S Champion of Eskalya. The contest is simple, make
an item, any item, using as many period techniques and materials as
you are comfortable with. Try hand sewing your seams or grinding
your own pigments. No one is expecting perfection and we realize
that some techniques and materials can't be used owing to their
inherent danger. But many materials and techniques are not and can
produce better results than their modern equivalents. So make the
attempt! (I double dog dare you... :D)
Coronet -
Principality A&S Octathlon
In honor of the 50th reign in Oertha, I have
decided to bring all of Oertha's groups together for a joint A&S
Competition to be held at Winter Coronet. I will have the official
competitions listed this week; however in the interest of fairness
to all artisans, here are the competitions so far:
Principality: Illuminated Letters
Eskalya: leather, horn or wood drinking vessels
St. Guinefort:
Calligraphy
Winter's
Gate: Embroidered blackwork in clothing or accessories
Selvierguard: Viking turn
shoes
Pavlok Garod:
Favorite Russian dessert redacted with documentation
Yns Taltreath: Wooden box
either wood-burned or painted OR any Viking cord
Earngyld: Bobbin lace with
metallic threads
Everyone is encouraged to enter as many
categories as you like as many times as you like as well is combine
any together. (i.e. Illuminated letters and calligraphy, Russian
dessert with bobbin laced-looking icing) Be creative and have fun
:) I will have official Event copy out this week with Their
Highnesses Whims as well.
Some examples of members of
the barony's work are pictured below.
