Read MorePennsic A&S War Point Team: Call for Applicants
The following is forwarded on behalf of the A&S champions. Artists and Scientists of the East! Greetings from your Champions. While the balmy days of Pennsic may seem in the distant future, we are already hard at work in preparation for the Pennsic Arts and Sciences war point. To that end, we invite any members of the populace interested in becoming members of the war point team to submit A&S projects for consideration. Due to time restrictions, projects proposed should already be well in progress or completed at the time of submission. If you have an idea for a brand new project, please consider working on that and submitting it for consideration next year. Please submit your letter of intent to moas@eastkingdom.org, by April 3, and include the following...
Read MoreArts and Sciences: Q&A “On the topic of unique research”
Question for the MoAS Office: “There’s no one that does what I do. Why should I even bother?” Have you heard a friend say something like this? Maybe you’ve even said it yourself? “I don’t have fun with A&S activities because no one does what I do.” Guess what. I’ve said this myself, too. And it frustrated me a good deal. That feeling of being alone. That feeling of not having any help. After some time I learned to re-frame how I looked at it. That helped me a good deal to be less frustrated. That helped me to feel less different. That helped me feel more a part of the A&S community. How’d I re-frame my thinking? In many ways I think we’re all doing the same things. I think we are just going about it with different tools and materials and methods. What do...

Read MoreArts and Sciences: Q&A “On the topic of dates”
The MOAS office would like to share a Q&A post regarding dates for A&S projects. Thank you for reading, and have a happy new year! Question for the MoAS Office: “I found a great example of a “thing” that I want to try to recreate, but it is dated to a bit after 1600. Can I still use this example as a source of inspiration in the context of A&S?” This is a good question, but one with more layers than artisans might, at first, realize. To start, please remember that it is no one’s job to police the art you make and the research that you do outside of A&S displays, competitions, and conversations around award recommendations, which usually have at least some rules or guidelines that ask artisans to focus on “SCA...
