Weaving Pictures: A history of Medieval Tapestry Covering a brief discussion tapestry and how it is made. Examples of early looms, materials, and how tapestry was used in period are included. The journey starts in the Middle East with Coptic pieces and moves up into Europe. I discuss the possibility of how the crusades brought it north and how it grew in nunneries and churches. In its flowering tapestry became secular, created in huge workshops supported by the rich nobility of the time. War and politics effected the movement of weavers and the subject matter woven. Included are visual examples of many of the important examples, covering the main subjects and styles. We will end with what is seen as the fading of Gothic tapestry with the influence of the Renaissance.

This class is to take a look at the gender gap that we currently see within SCA fighting communities. The goal is to break it down and identify areas that women are more likely fall out of the community, or are not being recognized and what reasons may be causing this. This is also an opportunity to talk about how we can better support our women and femme fighters and how we can promote equal growth within our community. The format for this class will be open, discussion and questions are welcome and encouraged.

Come hear tales of history, heroism, craziness and a variety of ill-spent youths from some of An Tir’s most venerable and hilarious storytellers.

During the “An Tir: Then and Now” panel, it became clear that our council of Lions had lots of stories that just didn’t really fit into that topic naturally, so we’ve reconvened that group (give or take a few changes) and invited them back to share their memories on… Well, pretty much anything! We have a few things we’d like to ask them, but bring your questions, and we’ll all enjoy an evening around the virtual fire reminiscing about the early days of An Tir.

Environmental History is the study of how people in the past thought about, were impacted by, exploited, and preserved their environment. Whether you’re interested in food and agriculture, or trade, or travel, or pigments and dyestuffs, or medicine and disease, or textiles, or fashion, or even if you just want to talk about the weather, the natural- and cultural environments play a role, especially in the Middle Ages. This class is intended as a primer to introduce people to this underexplored avenue of SCA research and provide resources and starting points for further learning.
