HOODWINKED! A Hood Making Workshop @ Churchville Nature Center
Apr 30 @ 6:00 pm – 9:30 pm
HOODWINKED! A Hood Making Workshop @ Churchville Nature Center | Churchville | Pennsylvania | United States
HOODWINKED!
Join Yasamin al-Sardaniyya (Better known as Jaz) on April 30 for a Medieval Hood workshop.
This will be less lecture and more hands on.
There will be examples of 14/15th century styles as well as the Skjoldehamn hood for you to see, feel and perhaps try on. I may have a few other examples ready at that time as well!
There will be resources and instructions for creating your own patterns from scratch and some patterns that are already made/pieced together to play with and mock up from.
We will *NOT* be sewing in this session.
Please bring:
• Tracing paper (I recommend freezer or butchers paper)
• Writing implements: A sharpie for tracing to your paper and a pencil or something to mark your fabric
• Tape measure
• Scissors
• If you have a yardstick/Tsquare, that could be helpful as well.
If time allows, or you are so bold to pattern straight to fabric – you may want to have:
• 1 yd of washed and pressed Muslin/Mock up fabric for each type of hood you want to work on. (Old sheets are great for this)
• Pins for fitting (I suggest safety/basting pins so they don’t fall out of your mock up on the way home)

Archery Practice
May 1 @ 2:00 pm – Oct 22 @ 4:00 pm
Archery Practice @ Churchville | Pennsylvania | United States

Bi-Weekly Barony Archery Practice.

Please note that this practice takes place on County owned property, and behind a private residence. The residence is not visible from the road, so after entering the property, follow the driveway up and around to the left. Please park in the grass in front of the house, and DO NOT park in front of either garage. When exiting your car, please walk around the right side of the house to the backyard. DO NOT walk around the left side of the house because you will be walking on to the Archery Range. If you require loaner equipment, please notify the Marshal in Charge a minimum of 24 hours in advance.
