| It is said, idle hands are the devil’s workshop. And as we are good medieval folk who strive to avoid that mischief maker’s deeds, we are in need of a task to chase the imp away. As the cold winds of winter gather strength, the need grows for something to occupy our hands and brighten our surroundings. What better way to chase the imp from us and keep our minds and fingers nimble then to learn a new art or perhaps pick up an old rusty skill? Come one and all to a Schola designed for those of us adventurous and curious enough to seek out new arts and different skills…..newcomers to the game, veterans who wish to expand their knowledge in a new direction, warriors bound indoors by injury or cold weather – ALL are welcome
The day will be filled with fiber arts of the decorative sort, all targeted to the beginner. Classes will be offered in many things, with the goal to embellish the things around us- specific activities will be listed as people volunteer to teach. Anyone wishing to teach, please contact the Reservation clerk: (Rosamund: elist@thornyrose.com) Please note that due to the limited space of the site, there will be no merchants set up at the event. Need even more of a reason to travel in the grey days of early winter? The NYS Sheep and Wool Festival will be in the area as well. So once you’ve learned your new arts, you can slip on over to the Duchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck, NY, to find all sorts of materials to tempt fiber artists of all ilks. Find more information on the festival at http://www.sheepandwool.com/ (fairgrounds at 1.5 hours north/east of the event site). ****** Classes currently confirmed (any class limits and fees below each): The Bayeux Tapestry embroidery technique Hand hemming and seam stitching Getting started with research, books, and materials Needlework in Space and Time Introduction to Pulled Thread Introduction to Fingerloop braid Introduction to Applique embroidery Crochet in the SCA Beginning embroidery Beginning drop spindle Introduction to cardweaving Introduction to “Opus Anglicanum” Site Opens: 9am |
