Greetings onto the populace of the East!

My name is Beatrice de Warynton, and I have the honor of serving their Royal Majesties as the East Kingdom Largess and Gifts coordinator and the Kingdom toy box coordinator.

The East Kingdom is truly blessed with some of the most gifted artisans, talented craftspeople, and generous individuals in the known world, and it is from all of you that I ask for help.

As their Royal Majesties travel the length and breadth of the Known World on Progress, one of the many things they are so proud to be able to do is to share the bounty of themselves, their artisans, and their populace with those they visit. In order to do this, they need to gather together many of your wonderful creations.

Are you a spinner? Your handspun would make a wonderful addition. Are you a wood worker? Perhaps a covered box, a drop spindle, or a lucet. Even if you are someone who feels more artistically challenged, there are things needed that can be easily gathered to create care packages and the like that make some of the most thoughtful and useful gifts.

What do we need? Things as simple as cup covers, needle books, and pin cushions.  Then things as elaborate as silk banners, wooden boxes of all shapes and sizes, and libations brewed with love and care.

Do you know others who would like to help? Spread the word! Anyone from anywhere can take part in this wonderful tradition of gratitude, hospitality and generosity.

I would love to talk with you about how you can help. I can be reached via email at beatricedewarynton@gmail.com or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/kris.greenberg

I look forward to hearing from you, and even more to showcasing the many wonderous creations of the citizens of this The Glorious Kingdom of the East!

 

In Service of the Kingdom of the East,

Baroness Beatrice de Warynton

Greetings all from the Kingdom A&S Minister, Master Philip White.

One of my goals in this office is to connect people with teachers and make learning more accessible. I’d like to see people working with other artisans more easily and to become better partners while developing a stronger community.

Another one of my goals is to not reinvent the wheel. If we have people already working on projects then let’s see if the East Kingdom can benefit form them too.

Master Lorenzo, from Meridies, has been working on an SCA Artisans List.
Click on the link and give it a look!

SCA Artisans Website

Full disclosure! Please note!
* The Mobile Interface is read-only.
* This is a work in process!
* There will be edits and improvements.
* We know it is not perfect.
* The list has been pre-loaded based off of the Order of Precedence published online.

I’ve tried it myself! I set up my registration and logged in. I’ve updated my information and finished setting up my account.

It is really easy to use.

The more people who participate the better the tool can become. There is a name search function but also by group or State or interest.

We could also even use this for local groups to register artisans, or set up judging, or classes, or something other things. There are options!

Remember… Have fun! Teach! Learn!

Your Servant to Command,

Oyez! Oyeeeeez!

Be it known that in but a fortnight, we will once again be engaged in a Quest!

As such, I tell you, I am greatly enthused to be coordinating Artisan’s Row!

But, of course, we would gladly welcome MORE artisans and alchemists to come and display their gifts. ‘Twould be, as well, a most advantageous time to bring forth those projects that need more space, or make more of a mess, than one can manage at other events. In particular are looking for potters, dyers and anyone else interested in coming out and taking advantage of this opportunity.

All are welcome! Continue reading →

Greetings to the artisans of the East:

The badge for the Order of the Silver Rapier recently was registered by the College of Heralds.  Therefore we are in need of appropriate medallions or pins to give out to the Order members, both new and old.

Larger images of the heraldry for the Silver Rapier can be found here:

and here:

The orle around the rapier should match the shape of whatever the badge is made on (ex: circle, square, other).  If you have any questions, please contact me.
