Pennsic: Scientific Instrument Day on Artisan's Row - Friday August 1st

For those of us that like to put the science into Arts and Sciences,
Artisan's Row at Pennsic this year will have a day devoted to
scientific instruments
and tools.

Friday of Peace Week I will be organizing a day of displays and
demonstrations of the tools and instruments of medieval science. I am
looking for like-minded artists and artisans who are involved in making and
using such tools to spend a few hours displaying their work and sharing
their knowledge.

I'm being very broad in my definition of both science and tool here: For
example, someone willing to demonstrate medieval methods of casting
astrological natal charts would be welcome.

So, If your interest is in the scientific tools and instrumentation of the
period, be it navigation, timekeeping, surveying, alchemical glassware,
weights and measures, astronomical, etc. Please get in touch with me. If
you cannot display, please feel free to stop by and say hello.

I will be set up to demonstrate and teach concerning astrolabes, quadrants
and sundials; and I'm planning demonstrations of drafting sundials and
astrolabe components using period techniques.
