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?

Any idea where you're going to end up holding this session?

Soooo jealous (that I am going to be missing these and that others get to go)!

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!

Calligraphy and Illumination, baby, don't forget one of the most popular arts in the society ;) Gilding classes are popular, as are technique classes like whitework. 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 ;)

A class on dyes would be good; a lot of folks want to dye something in the course of their SCA careers ;)

Bronze casting, pewter casting or metalsmithing

Oh man... I dream of an enameling class, heh ;) Repuse, plique-a-jour, cloisonne *siiiiiiigh!*

I've always thought that it'd be nice to have an open drawing session, with a model, but that's just me.
