Heraldry for the Hopelessly Confused—Love
looking at pretty painted shields, but can't tell a tincture on a device from a Tincture of Iodine if your life depended on it?
Can't tell a sub-ordinary from a submarine? Would you like to find out why people paint part of a shield
sable and refer to it as a color instead of a fur? Join our Baronial
Pursuivant as he guides you through this confusing but colorful medieval pursuit.

Splicing Ropes—"I cut it and I cut it, but it was still too short!" Have a rope that's too short for the job at hand? Need an eye-loop on the end?
This workshop will teach how to permanently connect two ropes of similar
size with a joint almost as strong as the uncut rope! Learn how to splice a permanent loop into the end of a rope. These were all skills practiced in the middle
ages when working with rope was a large part of the medieval engineer's job. Please bring a several-foot-long piece of twist natural rope that you don't mind cutting and a marlinspike (a scratch awl is the nearest modern tool, or a small Phillips screwdriver will work fine, too). If you don't have these, we will have some supplies on site.
