Activities
Kingdom Arts and Sciences Competition registration is due....
- November 1st - Pentathalon registration
- November 7th - Registration of all other entries*
- Please use the entry form or email directly to ealdormere DOT kmoas AT gmail DOT com
- Advanced submission of documentation (in electronic form) for all intermediate and advanced entries is highly recommended. This gives the judges the time to do justice to your work.
- *Entries will be accepted on the day, subject to space and the availability of judges, in order to encourage newcomers and beginner items.
Populace Choice Award:
- Here is your opportunity to be the judge! Pick the A&S entry that excites, intrigues and moves you. It can be beginner, intermediate or advanced. We ask the reason(s) for your choice just to give feedback to the participant, but the reasons are all yours. Have fun looking at what is produced by the artisans of Ealdormere. We think you will be pleasantly surprised.
In addition to the Arts and Sciences Competition:
- Fighting - lots of it! With an A&S theme. See Tournament details.
- Dancing - as much as we can fit in!
- Make and Take - there will be a number of 1-1.5 hour classes with quick projects. The idea is to try something you have not done before and take it home with you. All supplies provided. 6 - 8 participants only. Classes are:
- Fibre prep - Lady Brigid of Vest Yorvik and Eoforwic - Learn how to prepare your fibre for spinning. Class will include all supplies. A must if you want to take the spinning class.
- Drop Spindle - Lady Brigid of Vest Yorvik and Eoforwic - Learn how to spin your prepared fibre (wool). Spinning wheels did not come to Europe until the 14th century, so this is appropriate for many time periods.
- Naalbinding - Lady Orlaith Frazier - This is Norse one-needle "knitting". Done to make socks, hats, gloves and other useful items of clothing. Learn to make your own.
- Keyhole necklines - Fr. Guillaume di San Marino - Learn to make that keyhole neckline that stays flat and is easy to put in. While full clothing will not be made, patterns will be available to take home after learning this very useful skill.
- Calligraphy - Lady Muiren Ingen Morgair - Learn how to write your name or a poem in calligraphy. Instruction with reference books handy.
- Paternosters - Lady Ellaire de Troyes - Make a medieval paternoster with beads. All materials are provided.
