Things 15th Century (monthly workshops)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Greetings,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lord Connor Sinclair and I are happy to announce the inauguration of "All
Things 15th Century", a series of monthly workshops where we will explore
topics relevant to the 15th century. We do not profess to be experts,
but we do profess to love topics such as women's dressmaking and accessories
(especially hats!), men's garb, warfare, armor, the apex of the tourney, the
royal houses of the time (especially the Burgundy Ducal court), arts and
inventions, music of the period, cooking for the period, etc, etc. While
we have a wide variety of sources to share, we will also welcome anyone with a
similar interest to come and share your knowledge as well!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>All Things 15th Century will be held on the third Wednesday of every
month from 6-9, and will be added to the Ponte Alto calendar. The workshops
will typically be held at the home of Lord Connor Sinclair and Lady Courtney
de Houghton in Reston, VA. Please e-mail for directions (<A
href="mailto:courtneydehoughton@yahoo.com">courtneydehoughton@yahoo.com</A>).
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The first workshop will be held January 19th. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For ladies, the activity will be the creation of patterns for a woman's
cotte (coat). While there isn't one pattern that can suits everyone's
needs or can be claimed to be the most authentic, I do have a pattern that can
easily be modified to all body shapes and has worked well. Please bring
freezer paper or fabric suitable for creating a pattern. Others with
knowledge of 15th century V-necked coat patterns are welcome to come and share
their knowledge as well. If time and space allows, we can also
move on to cutting material. Please e-mail me for more
information.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For men, there will be a "show and tell" of weapons, armor, and
garb.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We welcome everyone to these workshops. The time frame is broad
enough to allow people to come and go as they can (especially with
traffic). Please e-mail your interest so we can make sure there is
enough space and provide directions. We will provide light nibbles as
well.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lady Courtney de Houghton</DIV>
