OK, so - here's an opportunity for those in the MK (Or near enough to come, anyway) to send me a wishlist of Classes they'd like to see at RUM. Also helpful would be teachers you'd like to see and what you'd want them to present.

I'm thinking of some vaguely themed tracks again:

Advanced Tailoring/Costuming - this might turn into a seminar... Hour 1 - Duct tape dummy, Hour 2 - draping, Hour 3 - handsewing techniques, Hour 4 - fitting, etc., etc..... Upside - become a better costumer in a day. Downside - miss all the other tracks.

Uncommon Costuming - In other words, not Norse, 'bethan, cotehardies, or T-tunics

Pimp Your Camp (Pavillion building, making camp furniture, camp cooking, etc.)

The Finer Things - Jewelry making, lace making, period cosmetics/bath accoutrements, glass work

And then of course, a track for all those people who offer to teach various things that don't fit anywhere else.

What else would folks want to see?

Should I confess that I am my own fiber arts track? Fiber prep (currently working on adding flax prep to wool prep), spinning, weaving, even tablet weaving, if desired. Of course, the time I did this, over in Baile na Scolairi, it did rather consume an entire day. But we had a ball doing it!

Thanks! I'll keep it in mind. A lot depends on what we get for a site and how many rooms there are.

I always vascilate between in depth tracks on one topic and trying to have a variety of topics available. It's a tough line to walk.
