Nothing to wear?
Desperate to make the right impression?
With festival just around the corner, now it’s the time to hone your sewing skills and turn out a spiffy new frock.
Here’s an opportunity to learn to make the very functional and beautiful 16th century kirtle. The skills learned from this workshop are immediately transferable to a wide range of styles spanning the 15th and 16th centuries in Western Europe.

2008 Arts and Sciences in Stormhold

Sun, 27 Dec 2009 11:45:46 +1100

The overriding theme in Stormholds' A&S activities and competitions will be one of persona development. Inspired by other competitions around the known world, the aim is to explore what your persona may have known about, experienced, or done in your chosen time period.

A&S meetings will still be held once a month, and will act as an introduction to topics that can be further discussed or worked upon at Kensington Hall, and there is a chance to show your new skills with a competition held at Monthly Bash. A lot of these competitions are documentation-based, as they deal with persona development.
