Our Arts and Sciences Coordinator this year is Katheryn de Gonneville and activities will be held in the A&S Pavilion

 

Katheryn will begin class sign-up on Friday morning

Basic T-tunic Construction techniques (2-Hours) - Saturday 10am – 12 Noon
Teacher – HL Agnes berengarii de girona

Description - T-tunics are a staple of SCA life. They are period appropriate for over half of the SCA period. But did you know that knowing the techniques for cutting a proper T-tunic can help get you set up to create a host of other rectangular constructed garments and even help with your later period clothing? Also, find out about manipulating the patterns to make most of the garb that you will need. All students will take home their pattern pieces ready to stitch. If we have time, the instructor will introduce some hand
stitching techniques.

Class Fee: $1.00 for a handout with a Max 6 Students
