Stierbach Baronial Investiture A&S! June 24, 2017

This Baronial Investiture is a grand time to show off your Arts and Sciences! We will be having competitions, displays, and hopefully classes! Bring your bling to show it off! Teach others to make fantastic crafts! Come and learn how do do things!
Displays
This year we will be having 2 display opportunities!

  1.  Static Display - Bring whatever you're working on, let us see your art, your science!  (Documentation encouraged, but not required.) (Lady Failenn Chu ingen ui Fhaelain arts at stierbach.org)
  2.  Peer Review - Bring your work in progress, your “thesis” project that keeps growing, that project that has you stuck.  Receive feedback like that which you’d receive in a competition, but here, everyone is a winner!  Tokens are encouraged.  Feedback forms will be provided, but please bring a notebook to accompany your submission.  Draft documentation strongly encouraged. (Lady Esa inghean Donnchaidh, scott [dot] rachel anne [at] gmail [dot] com)



Three competitions!

  1.  Dirty Dozen Largesse - Make 12 of anything that can be given as largesse by either the Baron and Baron or the King and Queen. This one is anonymous, so if you make documentation, please remember no names. Winner will get 1 of each item and possibly a little something extra..... (Lady Failenn Chu ingen ui Fhaelain arts at stierbach.org)
  2.  Scroll Blank Competition - The Scrivener Royal would love some blanks! Please remember to leave a 1/2" - 1" border the whole way around your illumination and to document if there are any toxic materials used. Documentation with pictures of the exemplar are highly encouraged. Winner will get a prize and the Scrivener Royal will get blanks! Win - win!( Lady Failenn Chu ingen ui Fhaelain arts at stierbach.org<mailto:arts at stierbach.org>)
  3.  German Landsknecte Competition - Entries for this competition may include any item that a Landsknechte would need on their travels.  In addition to usual judging criteria (such as documentation), entries will be judged on their usefulness and creativity!

Classes!

12-1: You bought it, now what: bought a fleece that you forgot the project for, or maybe it didn't end up what you wanted? Every fleece has ares that can/will be used for certain projects, as well as certain breeds are better suited for some projects than others, though that's not to say every breed has to be put into a certain category - Lady Freug the Herbalist. Outside under her pavilion.

1-2: Fleeces from our scadian history: certain breeds helped shape the clothing and trades that we associate with the middle ages, come see which ones were part of the ages we hold near & dear, as well as their origins, their trade secrets, and how they continue (or don't) to influence cultures today - Lady Freug the Herbalist. Outside under her pavilion.

1-2 PM - "What's that hat and how do I say Hi, basic SCA etiquette " - Baroness Aine ingen Chuimin - It will be an overview of what the different crowns and coronets represent , titles and how to address them, when and where to bow. Also a brief overview of group heraldry. Indoors

2-3: Grease in fleece: the debate continues...is it better to use a cleaned fleece vs a fleece 'in the grease' (unwashed/partially cleaned). Come bring your spindle, wheel, even your thigh & your hands to do it as some cultures still do it...find out for yourself. Come get your fingers filthy looking at fleeces & how they were bred for the staple lengths they currently have, & advantages/disadvantages of both clean, minimally processed, & 'off the sheep' - Lady Freug the Herbalist. Outside under her pavilion.

2-3:  Braid Weights - Baroness Tatiana Ivanovna - Learn to make period braid weights to hold your braids back. Bring 1 yard of ribbon, and possibly scissors and needles. Indoors.


Thank you!
Yours in Service to the Dream,

Lady Failenn Chu ingen ui Fhaelain
