Mini Collegium
February 16-17, 2002
For those who are unable to travel to the Estrella War, the Canton of Mons
Draconis will be hosting a mini-collegium at the home of Lord Carolus and Lady
Christine. The schedule and a list of courses are below. For directions, or to
inquire about limited crash space, contact Lord Carolus von Eulenhorst.
We are requiring that any minors be accompanied by their parent(s) or legal
guardian(s). As usual, we will be having hands on classes using various tools
and these need the responsible adult present. Thank you all for your
understanding.
We still have class times available if anyone wishes to teach a class. This
is a great time to try out that new class you have been working on but aren't
sure it's ready. If you wish more information or want to place your class on
the schedule please contact Lord Carolus.
There will be a pot luck feast after classes on Saturday evening. After
dinner, there may be an informal "play, request or pass" bardic
hosted by Clann Fhaoilcheire.
If you are planning on attending, please fill in the
registration form at the bottom of the page. A
current registration count is available;
instructors are not counted for their own classes.

REGISTRATION FORM

| ARCHERY |
|---|
| Making Bamboo Arrows |
Bamboo arrows are steeped in history just as ancient as other
wood arrows. A bamboo arrow of your own crafting can be just as accurate as
one purchased from a professional fletcher but will have infinitely more
value and charm to the archer. Students of this class will construct their
own bamboo arrow; choosing the raw shaft, preparing the shaft, cutting the
nock, fastening fletching, and mounting the tip. Student should bring their
bow, if possible, so nocks may be fitted properly. And, of course, to shoot
the finished arrow. This is not a class for children as open flame and
various sharp tools will be in use. |
| Instructor: Lord Taillear Glas naLamh Chli |
| SAT 9 - 11 AM |

| Making a Flemish Twist Bowstring |
Students of this class will learn the secret art of crafting a
Flemish bowstring. Flemish strings are more beautiful and quieter than the
endless loop strings commonly purchased in archery shops. They also fit into
the SCA's period whereas the endless loop string is decidedly modern.
Additionally, students will learn a very special manner of tying off serving.
The $5 material fee requested covers a string jig that the student will take
home. If more students sign up than there are jigs available then no fee will
be charged to those who do not receive a jig. While jigs are not necessary
for Flemish string construction they do make it much easier to measure and
cut the strings. Students are requested to bring their bows so the strings
may be made to the proper length. |

When pen seeks paper then my vision fails.
The story crawls away and I forget.
Do you have ideas for poems crawling around in the dark corners of your
mind, but are not certain how to get those ideas out on paper, much less in
a period structure? This class seeks to provide a basic poetic vocabulary as
well as an introduction to the craft of poetry and certain period forms. The
goal is for students to leave the class with a better sense of how to drag
those ideas kicking and screaming onto the page. No really, it's fun, I
promise! |

Fighters |
Going to war is, indeed, different for combatants! As a
fighter (of any style) you subject yourself to different (though not more)
stresses than non-combatants. This seminar/discussion will address the issues
surrounding how to make your first war (or your first in a while) more
enjoyable, by helping you to recognize and reduce the stress. Discussions on
breaking in armor, being truly prepared to camp, and taking care of yourself
while having a great time will be facilitated by the instructor. Experienced
war fighters (of all weapon styles) are encouraged to come and share their
experiences and suggestions so that you (and your Lady or Lord) will want to
come to a second war! |
