My collected announcements, musings, tutorials, event highlights, project updates, and anything else relevant to the SCA that’s not a completed project page.

Earlier this month I attended the Royal University of Midrealm, a day of nothing but arts and sciences classes. I taught a very well received class on coin making, and got at least another hundred royal pounds struck for her Majesty. If you missed it, the video recording to my class can be found HERE.…

If you didn’t have a chance to make it to RUM this year, or are interested in exploring the art of medieval coin making, here is the recording of my Introduction to Moneying class! If you’ve ever got questions about coin making or any other medieval numismatics, feel free to reach out!

Definitely a bit late getting to posting my Mounted War Games recap, ironically it’s because I’ve got another event this weekend (Harvest Days) that I’ve been having to prep for. I only had one goal for MWG this year: For it to go better than last year, as the last one was a pretty dismal…

I’ve never been much of one for blogging, but I’ve decided to start monthly recap of what all I’ve been up to in the SCA and my various crafting hobbies. I often find myself short on time to get professional photos taken and write-ups done for my portfolio, but I still want to share what…

Archery isn’t my usual focus, I intended for it to be a mainly…

The actual piece I entered was a new magic routine, and got some great feedback the panel of performance laurels, and some one on one magic discussion with Dr. Henry Best. Outside of my feedback session, I got to catch…

The weekend of January 27, my Mynydd Seren family and I attended the Festival of Maidens in the Shire of Caer Gwyn This was my first maidens since I rejoined the SCA, and my first since I received my Award of Arms at the same festival in 2017. After helping run authorizations in the morning,…

A few days before leaving for Festival of the Maidens this year, I made my first attempt at engraving a coin die. The first challenge I met came in transferring the image to the steel. Professional engravers will typically either chemically transfer a printed image to the surface, or use a wax pase to mark…

This past week there has been a lot of discussion on the various groups and forums about an all too common stigma surrounding peerage: That you should never express your opinions about it, whether you want it or not. Even though at the time of writing this my highest award has been my Cavendish Knot,…
