Salve Accolens! I come bearing tidings of the most excellent classes and A&S activities at St. Brigid’s Inn, which takes place February 21st at the Buffalo Inn in South Park.
Perhaps most exciting, we will be featuring both a craft supply swap and an armor swap: round up those unused tools and that weird yarn you were sure would be useful, and the gorget or gauntlets that never quite fit right, and we’ll help them find a new home. Browse the armor swap and pick up some new-to-you kit in time for outdoor practice season, or leave ready to explore a new and exciting craft! You don’t have to bring something in order to take something, everyone can participate.
Come visit the armor repair workshop and help get our Baronial iron key armor in fighting shape, or get your own all gussied up and ready to go for the season.
Bring your threadbare and holey garb to the mending & sewing circle, where we’ll ply you with tea and teach you how to shore up that ripped tunic for another year of camping events.
We have activities hosted by the Foresters, Æthelmearc Moneyers Guild, Debatable Brewers, and Skyguard (the Debatable Lands Archery Guild); petting zoos for wild mushrooms and (definitely domesticated) musical instruments; make-and-takes for St. Brigid’s crosses and effigies, brick stitch embroidery, cordage, and tablet weaving; classes on painting, calligraphy, and manuscript research; blockprinting and machine sewing; and a heraldry consult table for all your name and device needs.
You can see the schedule and class descriptions here in spreadsheet form or here as a pdf (better than the spreadsheet on mobile).
The best thing about St. Brigid’s Inn is that the classes all run for at least two hours and are designed to be drop-in-drop-out. This means it may actually be possible to attend ALL THE CLASSES, which we all know is the Ultimate Nerd Goal.
Whether you schedule every second of your day or hole up in a corner with a hot drink and good company, we hope you’ll have a lovely time.
Stay warm out there,
– Owen Tegg, St. Brigid’s class coordinator
