Culinary Arts: How To Run An SCA Feast, October 27

The Crown Province of Østgarðr invites you for a hands-on lesson on planning and preparing a meal for an SCA event.

Hosts Brandr Aronsson and Friderich Grimme will share their experience with cooking dayboards and feasts for both local and kingdom events. Topics will include menu selection, the planning process, and on-site logistics. We’ll talk about preparations for an upcoming event and will aim to get our hands dirty in the kitchen.

This session will be perfect for people who’ve already done a bit of cooking but have questions about how to build up from there to serving a historically-themed meal to a large group.

Join us on Sunday, October 27, from 11 AM to 4 PM, at Brandr’s home, located at 3208 Farragut Road, in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. The nearest subways are the 2 train at Flatbush Ave and the 5 train at Newkirk Avenue; the nearest bus stops are on the B44 and the B6.

All are welcome. No Society membership required. Modern attire. If you have questions, reach out to Brandr at 113751@members.eastkingdom.org.

Fiber Festival Demo: Saturday, October 12

The Kings County Fiber Festival celebrates the talented people who turn string and thread into useful objects and works of art — and the Crown Province of Østgarðr is joining in to demonstrate that the handcrafts of the pre-modern era still have relevance today.

This year’s festival will be held at the Old Stone House in Brooklyn, at 336 3rd Street, on Saturday October 12 from 10:00 to 5:00.

We’ll have a exhibition space at the festival and are looking for a few more talented people to help us show off the wide range of fiber crafts practiced in the SCA. If you spin, dye, weave, sew, knit, make lace, or otherwise craft with roving, thread, or yarn, this is an amazing opportunity to show off your work to a big crowd of handcrafting enthusiasts. (And of course there will be time to visit the many fiber vendors who are also part of the event.)

We also have room for a couple of folks who enjoy chatelaining and can explain to passersby how their interests in fiber arts can fit into the universe of our Society. Come out and help us introduce the SCA to an appreciative audience of crafters!

To join our exhibition, please reach out to our event steward, Eadwine the Younger, via Messenger at https://m.me/100068704373783 or via Discord at https://discord.com/channels/@me/875546920272166912.
