Symposium on the Basics of Book Heraldry
Are you interested in strengthening your skills as a branch or consulting herald? Or would you like to learn the trade so you can join the College of Arms?
Meet a small group of heralds in Østgarðr for a mini-schola on March 31, 2018, where you can review the consultation and submission process, and strengthen your armory design and name research skills.
We’ll gather on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, in the space Whyt Whey uses for its A&S evenings: http://bit.ly/whytwheysolar
We’ll begin with a light lunch at noon and continue until around 5:00.
We’ll have talks on designing and checking arms and badges, researching names, working with consultation clients, and dealing with submissions paperwork.
Talks will alternate with Q&A periods and hands-on sessions in which you’ll have the opportunity to work on real or imaginary submissions, so please bring any incomplete registrations or other projects you’re currently working on.
If you have heraldry reference books or other materials you’d like to share with the group, we’d love to have a bit of show-and-tell time.
No fee; casual attire; feel free to bring a snack to share with the group.
Please repost this as appropriate; folks from neighboring groups would be welcome.
RSVP to herald@ostgardr.eastkingdom.org so we know to expect you and have enough handouts.
