3. How to Build a Schedule by Yseult of Brocleiande, OP, OL, Lion An TirWe will look at the various aspects of schedule building for both class schedules and overall event schedules. Event schedules are often easier to block out; class schedules can be tricky when you factor in not just tracks of subject matter but who might be interested (new comers? Families with children?), timing, sequencing, conflicts of interest with other event activities, etc. Lecture/discussion format with a hands on class schedule to design if there is time. Bring note taking materials and questions. 1 or 1.5 hours.
4. We Used to Eat That: Forgotten Grains, Veggies, and Potherbs, with Adhela of Ottersdam
   Before modern bread wheat, what were people growing, and when did it change? And what about the contents of your market basket in modern times, such as carrots, celery, and spinach? Those items didn’t exist in their modern forms until much later in period, so what were people eating instead? It wasn’t all just cabbages and turhnips that got you through the winter and early spring. Skirret, orach, nettles, purslane, and a host of other things were a vital part of many period diets. Many of these are easily findable through modern seed companies, and grow readily in the Pacific Northwest. Come and learn about them!

Want to host a class? Please let us know by contacting the Event Steward today!
