Boar's Hunt Arts and Sciences

Largesse challenge - Presented by HL Adeliza a Donyng

The challenge - Make 6 of a largess type item (same or similar) and present them at opening court for all to see or bring them to A&S within an hour of opening court. Make sure items are discreetly marked with the entrant's name. The winner will be awarded at court that night and will be given one of each entry, 2nd place (if there are enough contestants) gets a choice of 2 items, and the rest goes to largesse. For a better understanding of what largesse is, check this out: Largesse

Iron Needle Challenge - Presented by HL Adeliza a Donyng

This contest will also be largesse focused. This will start right after opening court. Adeliza will be at A&S for an hour after opening court with supplies for competitors, but competitors should bring their own tools and any supplies they specifically would like to have on hand. The competition will end Sunday morning early enough so the winner can be announced at closing court. This time will be nailed down as the event schedule gets finalized. There will be an adult and a youth category. Contact Her Ladyship Adeliza.

Aquaterra Culinary Guild Interactive Demos

Presented by Baroness Fiamma the Unquenchable

Food on Sticks

Class description: Food on Sticks: Easy period recipes for foods cooked on a skewer over fire. We will cook cheese and bread, grilled mushrooms, meatballs, roasted apples and play that "absurd game of cooks", Eggs on a Spit. Students get to eat what they make. Please inform the teacher of any food allergies or sensitivities.

What students should bring: We will be cooking over open flame, so an apron, oven mitt or leather gloves will be handy; long hair tied back or covered, avoid long trailing sleeves. Bring a chair, a plate and a beverage or a cup for water. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.

Cooking over a fire

Class description: Cooking over a fire: Come prepare some easy medieval recipes cooked over a fire in period pottery. We will also learn a simple and quick bread recipe cooked in a Dutch oven. While the Dutch ovens we use today are not totally period, we can use them to imitate a period method of cooking and baking bread over a fire.

Knitting Class

Presented by Lady Sabina di Zorzi

This will be a basic 'knitting in the round' class to get you started on any number of period items, from basic bags to hats and socks. There we will have some information on period knitting available and some yarn (non-period) for those that need it, as well as home-made wooden needles in case you don't have your own to use during the class. You are welcome to purchase them for $2 if you would like to keep them. If you have advanced knitting questions, feel free to ask those as well!

Spoon Carving Class

Presented by HL Thorbjorn Inn Mikligerzki

He will be teaching his spoon carving class to students at his merchant booth! He can teach one or two students at a time, so bring your leather gloves and good hand strength, $2 for the spoon blank and the written materials, and stop by his booth to sign up for a time slot. He will provide the carving tools for you to use during your session. He has taught this as an Ithra class, so if you would like to get credit for it, speak to the local Ithra Chancellor, HL Elewys of Finchingefeld. Persona Tea 11am Sunday – Presented by Marguerite

HL Marguerite fitz William has graciously agreed to host a Persona Development Tea! This will be a casual class / conversation to help those that are trying to figure out how to develop their personas as well as "live it" while enjoying an everyday nicety of tea. Beginners welcome! Feel free to ask questions or just come to practice being in persona! Please bring your feast-cup to fill with your choice of tea.
