Calligraphy and Illumination, baby, don't forget one of the most popular arts in the society
I usually get enough volunteers for C&I classes that I don't have to go hunt them up.
Bronze casting, pewter casting or metalsmithing
Casting, I'm waiting to see what sort of site we get. ;-) Makes a difference if we've got somewhere that sort of thing will be allowed.
I'm also making an effort to try to combine those things that will be a big draw with those things you don't see very often. There ARE actual Heraldic/Scribal symposia. And, of course, the MK Cooks Symposium is going to be near in both date and location. So I just anticipate the cooking classes will be less in evidence as both teachers and potential students are more likely to go to THAT. This time.
Oh man... I dream of an enameling class, heh ;) Repuse, plique-a-jour, cloisonne *siiiiiiigh!*
THAT I can do some investigating on... I know of at least one Laurel of the distance doesn't turn out to be to great....
Lyonnete's "How to make a fast scroll" class is awesome, but I doubt she'll be able to go to Chicago to teach it
Yeah, but at least RUM moves around. ;-) More than can be said for Kingdom Faire.
It's sort of that dichotomy of trying to make RUM appealing to a large section of the populace, and yet also have a lot of classes that don't appear elsewhere. Which is why we're trying to move away from doing to many "Introduction to" type classes if we can possibly help it. Unless it's an art or science so unusual that you pretty much only get it if you live near the one person in the Kingdom that does it - or go to RUM.
