Comments
Which Class did you like the most? Why?

All of them but especially Black Death and childbirth because the instructor was so knowledgable. Also I like acedemic type courses.

They were all great. Fascinating, lots of information.

Tarot cards and Gypsies appealed to my interests & Anchoress was really interestings and well set up too.

Tudors go to the movies - but was the only student. Was well prepared with lots of video reference and good hand out. Would take class again.

Basic long sword - very good hands on overview

Embroidery & Oseberg. Instructors really knew their subjects, topics I�m very interested in.

Arthurian Legends - filled in information I didn�t know

Chainmail - very useful for costume & armour. Very well taught though it should be longer than one hour

Middle Eastern Dance - well taught and exciting. Durr and Mohasaba are great

Papermaking - its was hands on with a finished product

Papermaking, Beltmaking - excellent teachers, material, everything

I loved Middle Eastern Dance. It was well planned and had a great teacher. It was a great experience and I hope it continues

Chainmail

Theatre, English History - both very informative

Blacksmithing open shop - a good chance to practice my smithing skills

What class did you like least? Why?

Astronomy, but it was okay, just the others were spectacular.

None all awesome.

Wisdom & Lies - it was primarily Arabic stories that were confusing and not very interesting.

None

Liked them all

Cobblery - the instructor did not show & no notice was given in time to get to another class.

All were great

Discussion groups - to much minutae

Theatre was a dissappointment because it wasn't theatre, it was the history of theatre -- there's a big difference

English history - not a practicum

What other classes would you like to see?

All the ones I missed! (how to build a persona, crusades). Also myths, faery tales, cultures

All I didn�t get to see this time. Irish and celtic beginnings interest me.

Life as Royalty, superstitions, differences in culture during Medieval times

Astronomy

Calligraphy

Elizabethian Costume

Spinning

Loom weaving

Armour or weapon construction

Medieval hairstyles, accessories, and jewelry

Fencing

Cobblery

I think what you had was fine

Beginning chainmail

Armouring

Jewelry

Comments

I was very impressed with the extensive skills and knowledge of the presenters. They had done exhaustive research and presented with enthusiasm. We will definitely be back. Very Interesting.

Can�t Wait to join the SCA

Costumes are interesting. Good Job. Be careful not to plan some types of workshops at the same time.

Music was too loud in central area at lunch

Would like to see more repeated classes

There were so many great sounding classes it was impossible to get to all of them. Perhaps this could be a two day or twice a year event

Compendium was missed

I was overall happy with the day and I wish the organizers the best

Chainmail needs to be longer (2hrs or more)

Glad the theatre guy came this year. I would be interested in compendiums for 1999, 2000
