Competitions

A number of Lochac-wide Competitions are available for you to enter your projects into: a good way to get feedback and broaden your skills. We also have local competitions each year, to show each other our work and select the Baronial Arts and Sciences Champion.

Dance classes

Renaissance dancing is currently a very popular activity here in Ildhafn. Katherina Weyssin runs dance classes on Thursday nights, where we work with 15th and 16th century sources from Italy, France and England - all are welcome (and classes aren't usually in costume). What we've done recently.

Craft days

We have regular Arts and Sciences meetings on Sunday afternoons. We tend to focus on clothing-and-textiles inside, and armouring, woodwork and leatherwork outside, but you're welcome to bring along any sort of project - cooking experiments are popular - or just come to browse in the library, chat, or ask for advice. On fine days, there's often some martial-arts training in the back yard, or in a park nearby.

We try to make the first Sunday of the month a little bigger - if you can only come occasionally, come on the first Sunday.

Please see the calendar for the schedule for this week's practices.

Music

If you're into music, the SCA can be a great place to join in - please see our music page for songbooks, music and other information.

Personal projects

As well as our regular group activities, our members work on all sorts of medieval and renaissance arts individually. Some have webpages, some of which you will find links to on our "people" page. Some write up personal projects and post them here.

If you would like a personal page, or a login to post about your personal projects, please contact the web minister, William de Cameron.
