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

medieval ladies spinning and weavingGreetings from Quintavia!  Once again this year we will be hosting Hrim Schola, the East Kingdom’s premier fiber arts learning event.  Last year we had ten tracks of five classes on a wide variety of topics sprinkled with guild meetings, and this year we hope to have even more!  The event is on March 23rd in a new site in Clinton, MA.

The overall theme for Hrim Schola is the fiber arts, and we usually have classes on spinning, weaving, dyeing, sewing, embroidery, clothing construction, knitting, and more.  Every year we have a featured track that usually includes things other than the fiber arts. This year our focus is on Accessories; this could be hats, belts, shoes, jewelry, stockings, laces, really anything that goes with an outfit – and armor is an outfit, right?  We will also continue last year’s popular Youth track, so we will have classes for all ages.

If you are interested in teaching at this event, please contact our Chancellor, Rosina von Schaffhausen.  We will have space for messy classes in a commercial kitchen, and if you need a huge space and don’t mind the chill, there’s an unheated gym.  The site is only partially handicapped accessible, so please mention if you have accessibility needs, and we will organize the class schedule accordingly.
