Fiber Arts in January

Hello!

I have two pieces of news for the Fiber Arts guild in January. Firstly, we will be having two meetings this coming month. First meeting is January 13th, 7:00 PM at T’see’va’s house, 5167 Rosecrest Drive, Pittsburgh, PA. Jasmine will be teaching hand spinning, but you can also do your own crafts. Materials and drop spindles are provided, feel free to bring your own if you want. The quiet room will be open for people who just want to drop in and eat cookies in the ambiance :).

The second meeting will be at the BMDL twelfth night, at 2 pm. We will try to hold it upstairs near the Bartertown area, but will move downstairs if there isn’t enough room.

Finally, I’m extending an invitation to everyone to join the Fiber Arts Guild in participating in Fun-A-Day this January. Fun-A-Day is a daily commitment to fun through art, every day in January, and share via social media.

Details on participation are available on the fun-a-day website, where you can officially register if you’d like. At the end, there’s an art show you can also participate in as well! I hope you’ll consider joining us and starting off the new year with some creative energy!

Happy New Year!

A&S Night is this Thursday, December 26th!

Looking for something chill to do during your holiday time off? Need out of the house after all the festivities wrap up? We are still having A&S Night this Thursday, December 26th from 6:30-9:30pm! The cold and dark winter days are a perfect time to pick up a new craft, polish your documentation for A&S Champs, or finish up largesse for the derby at Debatable Lands Twelfth Night! Let me know if you need the address or any other details.

Martial practices on for Sunday 12/8

As a reminder, we will be holding both armored and rapier practice this Sunday, 12/8, from 11 am to 2 pm, at Ace Axe Throwing. A thrown weapons marshal is available should throwers wish to play as well.

We will have visitors for practice this week! Her Excellency of Brendoaken plans to attend and bring folks along to both fight and fence. She is seeking members of the Chivalry to help her finish her 100 knight challenge. This should be a lot of fun. I hope to see many of you there.

Call for Letters: Arts and Sciences Minister

The time has come! My second consecutive term as Baronial Minister of Arts and Sciences is coming to an end at the February Business Meeting, so it is time for me to issue this Call for Letters and begin seeking my successor. Please consider submitting a Letter of Intent to stand for election to this office.

The job of the Minister of Arts and Sciences is to support and promote historical arts, crafts, and research within the Barony. The only true requirements of the position are that you pay attention to what is going on, make quarterly reports to the Kingdom Minister, and make reports to the other officers of the Barony at the bi-monthly Business Meetings. This position is a member of the financial committee, so it is important that you understand Baronial, Kingdom, and Society policies.

Any effort you can put into encouraging, participating in, and helping others participate in the A&S activities of the Barony is a great service, so there is plenty of room for new ideas.

Send your letters to me at “ansminister (at) debatablelands.org”, to the Seneschal at “seneschal (at) debatablelands.org”, and to the Baronage at “baronage (at) debatablelands.org”. Please submit your letter of intent by the 31st of January, 2025 so that it can be presented to the officers ahead of the Business meeting.

You should also plan to attend the Business Meeting on February 5th (online is fine if you can’t make it in person) so that you can speak for yourself to the officers about your involvement in the A&S activities of these Debatable Lands, and your plans should you be chosen as the next Minister.
