Gulf Wars Needs Teachers!

Gulf Wars is fast approaching! And Gulf Wars needs teachers, artisans,  
and guilds to hold classes, workshops, demonstrations, meetings, etc!  
We invite all good gentles of this Kingdom to submit any and all arts  
and science related activities for Gulf Wars via the web site:

http://gulfwars.org/activity_request.html

This year at Gulf Wars, we strongly encourage folks to submit hands-on  
type classes and activities. Due to the length of the war, projects  
that take multiple hours - or days - to complete can more easily be  
accomplished, so don’t be afraid to propose a class with non- 
traditional length or several ‘parts.’ As in previous years, there are  
many teaching locations around the Gulf Wars site – Al-Mahala (Middle  
Eastern Activities), Early Period, Equestrian, Falconry, Herald’s  
point, Kennel Lands, Page school, and Scribe’s Point are all seeking  
instructors for their areas.

New this year, Collegium and Artisan’s Row have merged, and most  
traditional ‘downtown’ classes will be coordinated through Artisan’s  
Row. This will include European Dance classes as well as Theatre/Stage  
activities. Artisan’s Row will have a “lecture tent” available with a  
projection screen and electricity for more traditional ‘lecture-type’  
classes, but encourages teachers to consider how they might make a  
traditional 1-hour lecture class into a hands-on class (of any needed  
length). Artisans Row also encourages ‘open workshop,’ demonstration,  
and even one-on-one tutoring type sessions as follow-ups to other  
classes, or for artisans to share the techniques and projects they are  
working on with the populace. Contact artisans.row at gulfwars.org with  
questions or unique proposals for teaching in this area.

If you have a guild meeting, or hands-on/on site competition you’d  
like to host at Gulf Wars (like the “Cast-Iron Chef” day we’ve had in  
the past), please also use this form, or contact Lady Charmayne D'aix- 
la-Chapelle to discuss logistics or questions relating to the event.  
In fact, please do not hesitate to contact her via at ladycharmayne at charter.net 
  with any questions or concerns regarding non-martial activities at  
Gulf Wars!
