Classes:
 
Beginning Card Weaving (Kayla Boysen) 
 
Entering A&S Competitions (Mistress Eithni) Arts and Sciences Competitions can 
be a great opportunity to display your skills as well as an opportunity to 
assess how much you have learned and new directions for growth. Come learn how 
to adequately prepare for an A&S Competition and how to get the most out of the 
experience. A class on how to judge for A&S will follow, if there is sufficient 
interest.
 
Double Face Weaving (Kayla Boysen) - requirements are: loom, two different 
colors of yard (two balls of each color), shuttle, 10 cards, & imagination! oh 
yeah scissors might be handy too.  Allow approximately 2 hours.  Class will be 
held in the A & S area.
 
Fur and What to Do With It (THL Margaret Fitzwilliam of Kent)
 
Vernacular Music (THL Fiona) Vernacular music began with the troubadours. This 
is the first time in history that music was written down that was sung in the 
language of the people listening. This class will discuss troubadours most 
particularly and will touch on the other vernacular forms that followed them. 
Come learn about why singing in English is totally legitimate.
 
Hands-on Heraldry (THL Juliana Foxcroft)  Are you interested in working up a 
device to be registered?  I will bring all the books and information I have on 
heraldry plus some forms and markers, and do my best to help you.

I'm still waiting to hear back on some other classes - look for them to be 
posted at Troll!  There is still space for more - we'll have a list set up and 
if you want to teach something, go ahead and add it to the white board where 
it's convenient for you.


Court:
 
Will be held at Their Majesties' pleasure.

Looking forward to seeing everyone this weekend!
