Event details

Join us for a day of all things string!  Beyond tying packages, string comes in many forms.  Consider:  silk, and linen, and wool, in spinning, or weaving, or sewing, or embroidery.  Then there is "string" of metal for jewelry and other adornments.  String is also found in music and in archery.  Think of the possibilities!

Count on comestibles (dayboard), classes, and Court. 

We will once again be at the 1st Unitarian Church of Wilmington (DE).  The site is discretely wet, and is a nut-free building.

Classes will begin at 11:00, and currently include:
Norse Seam Treatments, Wire Wrapped Rings, Heraldic Appliqué, Bayeux Tapestry Embroidery Solar, Basic Brocaded Tablet Weaving, Thread Play, Elizabethan Embroidered Dress Accessories, Perfect Turk’s Head Knots for Decorative Accents, Storytelling with Loom Knitting demo, Basic Drop Spinning, Basic Embroidery, Guitar for [SCA] Beginners, Naalbinding, Flemish Bowstrings, Buttons and Buttonholes, Introduction to Lucet, Basic Fingerloop Braids, Embroidery for Fighters, Twining Weaving Demo, Harp Jam.
