Midwinter’s Feast and Artisan’s Retreat                                             

Barony of Adiantum

February 3, 2007                                                                                 

Eugene, Oregon 

Come and join us in the Barony of Adiantum for our annual Midwinter’s Feast and the first Annual Artisan’s Retreat!  Remember when you first got into the SCA and you and your friends geeked out on a regular basis on all the artsy things the SCA had to offer? Have you ever wanted to just sit with the Laurels, ask them questions, glaze over at the amazing amount of geeky information they can toss at you and soak up the knowledge? If you long for those glory days, come join us at the First Annual Artisan Retreat! Come geek out with other artists and learn new arts and sciences from some of the Kingdom's premier artisans. The Laurels attending will have no meetings to run to, no things to judge, and nothing to do but answer questions and chat about cool artsy things!!
There will be demonstrations throughout the day, panel discussions, and plenty of artisans doing their thing. Get one-on-one advice from artisans in such diverse fields as costuming, music, illumination, pottery and other arts–be sure to bring your works-in-progress! 

After a full day of immersion in the glorious arts, join us for a delectable feast that follows the Silk Road from Mongolia to the Courts of Elizabethan England. FEAST SEATING IS LIMITED! Email Dame Fearga to secure your seat at the feast: fearga@yahoo.com.
