Arts & Sciences

There is so much to entertain in the Society of Creative Anachronism. The arts and sciences are no different. If you have a passion for learning how to create something, I bet there is someone out there that is already doing it. The subjects of candle-making, spinning, weaving, leather-work, casting, blacksmithing, costuming, brewing, apothecary, dance, song, playing an instrument, painting, illumination, bead-making, wood-working, etc... the list literally goes on and on. The Barony of Seleone does not falter when it comes to pursuing forms of A&S.

Below are highlights to showcase the talents of our populous members.

Fiber Arts

Fiber arts is a very popular form of A&S in the SCA. There are many forms of fiber arts from costuming and embroidery to spinning your own yarn and thread on a spinning wheel. Mistress Isolde de Graue aus dem Lebendhertz is a professional costumer and is a Laurel in the SCA for her costuming. She also enjoys spinning fibers into yarn on her spinning wheels, and needlepoint.
