Event details
Welcome to the first ever Stonemarche Garb Schola held in the beautiful Lakes Region in the heart of the Barony of Stonemarche!
As garb is such an integral part of how we play and represent our chosen time period, our persona and our personality, we thought it certainly deserved its own schola. Not everyone feels ready to tackle the Iron Seamstress challenge but everyone, to different extents, wants to look good and be comfortable in their garb, be it for a stroll down the aisles at Birka, a steamy summer day at GNEW or around a chilly Bardic around a fire at Harper's. And so, we are collecting some of those in the Kingdom for whom sewing is a passion and teaching is a joy to share their knowledge and get us on the track to sartorial respelendence (looking real good in garb)!
As this is a new event, we will see what the response from teachers and attenders is. At this point, we plan to have tracks for beginner sewists from basic T-tunic construction to how to pick and know your fabrics, for intermediate and expert sewists around more specifics of patterning, construction, sewing, finishing, by machine and or by hand, your period appropriate garb . There will also be an accessories track for things like headwear, shoes, undergarments etc. If you have a class you are dying to teach, or take, please let us know so that we can work on bringing you on this year and/or next year as we get to build on this year's beginning.
In addition to classes, there will be a sign up to participate in a fashion show over the day-board lunch where teachers and others may display and explain a bit about their garb and where it fits into period history. There will also be a consultation table where some of our teachers will volunteer to sit and answer questions if you have a garb idea with which you are not sure where to start or garb in process where you've reached a sticky point and need some coaching.
This is a respectfully *wet* site. Please plan accordingly.
