Greetings M'Lady, and welcome to Ponte Alto.
 
>I'm interested in archery, cooking, and jewelry making.  My mom taught me to shoot when I was a kid, although I haven't touched a bow in ages and am curious where you would go to practice or what the laws in VA are??

We have a fine and skilled Baronial Archer, Lady Arnfridr (and she's going to kill me for butchering the spelling of her name) who is always looking to add more archers to the ranks. And I think we may be able to scare up a few cooks here, though it's not like this Barony has ever had an interest in fine dining. ;)

As for archery laws in VA, I think those only apply to bow hunters, not target archers (most of those rules being common sense), but I could be wrong. It may vary from public range to public range.
 
>I used to do beading in college as a hobby, because I'm so awful at sewing that will probably be my A&S contribution.

I wouldn't be at all surprise if you became interested in some other A&S related craft or art given the large number of talented artisans and performers here.
 
>My oldest daughter interested in joining is Kathryn.  She is 10 and loves history and reading.  She's also into RPG's, although she thought the SCA could teach her how to do spells.  I wonder if there's something in the A&S department that might be like alchemy or something?  She also wants to learn archery.

Unfortunately our resident alchemist, Mistress Winifred Corbet has moved outof kingdom. She used to teach chemistry at George Mason and also taught alchemy and period chemistry classes at Atlantian University sessions. I don't know if there's anyone else left in the Barony with those skills.
 
>Look forward to meeting everyone.  I knew Kevin Maxson in college,

Don't worry, we won't hold that against you. Oh, hi Kevin. <<THWAP>>

In service,
Corun
