Waking of the Salamander IV

Come one and all to celebrate the waking of the Mighty Salamander!  This year, the Barony will be reviving the much beloved Artisans Village, where artisans from a variety of disciplines will gather to learn and teach their chosen skills.  As in previous years, camping will be available for those who wish.  There will be a pot luck camping dinner Friday night and dayboard for Saturday during the event.  Join us for a weekend celebrating the beginning of camping season, and the Barony’s love of creation. 

Our Artisan’s Village is filling up quickly, and we look forward to sharing our skills with you!  If you’ve never experienced Artisan’s Village before, there will be space for different A&S disciplines to create an “open house” feel for people to learn about different crafts!  Participants can wander around to all the areas during the day and learn a bit about all the different types of A&S that make up our Society.

As you explore the Village, please take the time to visit the following areas:

Pottery - led by Mistress Lissa Underhill
Fiber Arts - led by Lady Chana Freidl the Maker
Scribal - led by Lady Margarette la Gantiere
Firecrafting and Survival Skills - led by Lord Aiden Underhill
Dayboard- led by Lord Lawrence Vaughan
Glass Bead Making - led by Lady Cailleach Dhé ingen Chiaráin
Bardic - led by our Baronial Bardic Champion, Merlin Silber

A dayboard will be prepared at our Cooking Village by Lawrence Vaughan, and will feature medieval street food to enjoy as you wander!  You can look forward to such treats as griddle breads, meat and veggie pies, pretzels, hot pescods, and assorted fruits and vegetables.

This year at Artisan's Village, we are introducing a cooking village.  This will run alongside the dayboard and will allow cooks in the area to experiment while having access to an open cooking fire.  Bring your tools, ingredients, and your ideas.  Please remember you cannot bring firewood across state lines.  To participate in the cooking village, please contact the event stewards.

There is still space available in our village if you are interested in hosting artisans for your craft.  Please reach out to the event stewards with your ideas!

Site Opens: 4pm Friday for campers, 9am Saturday for those who want to day-trip
