From hartwood at tirrigh.org Fri Sep 5 00:42:46 2014 From: hartwood at tirrigh.org (Hartwood) Date: Fri, 5 Sep 2014 00:42:46 -0700 Subject: [Hartwood] Canine War A&S Message-ID: Hey, where's the A&S competitions? ... Right here! Doggie Barding Barding was a way to armour horses and display heraldry. From decorated reigns to long and graceful cloaks over their hind quarters (Caparisons), horses have been dandied up for war and tourneys throughout the middle ages. But why should they get all the fun? Modernly there are many people who dress up their dogs, bling out their leashes or halters, and even have their dogs wear little booties in winter. Lets do it medievally -- with doggie barding! Entrants will be judged on aesthetics (with bonus points for hidden functionality and other such cleverness) and documentation. "Oh no," you say! "Don't make me write all the words! They scare me!" Fear not! This competition is meant to be entirely tongue in cheek. We want to see your inspiration, and to follow your journey. This is a good time to -practice- writing documentation, without taking it too seriously. Verbal documentation is welcome too! And, if you have no dog of your own to dress, some may be willing to lend you theirs (contact ahead of time!), or a stuffed doggie will do. ********** Saint Guinefort - A Dog in Any Medium Dogs have long been considered man's best friend, and no dog embodies this more than 'Saint' Guinefort, a 13th century greyhound unofficially sainted by popular demand after he saved his master's infant son, only to be slain when his Master mistakenly believed he had eaten the child. Painted, sewn, carved, or sung -- lets find a way to honour this noble hound, and all those dogs who provide such loyal and brave companionship. Competition will be judged on how well it embodies the spirit of the theme, aesthetics, and period techniques.

Also, if anyone is interested in judging either of these competitions, I am looking for one more judge! Thank you! ~ Cunegonda, the not-so-tired-she-makes-the-same-mistake-twice From hartwood at tirrigh.org Fri Sep 5 19:34:56 2014 From: hartwood at tirrigh.org (Hartwood) Date: Fri, 05 Sep 2014 19:34:56 -0700 Subject: [Hartwood] TUTR at Tir Righ A&S and Bardic Championships! Message-ID: The University of Tir Righ will be offering classes at the Tir Righ A&S and Bardic Championship, Sept. 26-28, 2014! The theme is Largesse! Largesse is a mystical concept to many people. Her Ladyship Arianna Freemont will draw back the veils and offer excellent ideas for your future largesse projects. One of the needed items is pouches, small ones for jewelry and other easily lost trinkets. Lady Jocasta of Fjordland will teach how to make simple linen pouches, even if you have never used needle and thread. Have you considered the usefulness of string? Ties for shoes, hose points, and sherte openings. Drawstrings for pouches and cords for suspending medallions. Lady Chiara Stella will lead you into the world of kumihimo. Perhaps you are or would like to be a whittler? His Lordship Kjartan will take you through basic skills and safety for whittling, and you will carve your own spoon. Registration is on-site at gate; reg forms available. See you there!

This year entrants will be asked to create both a sweet and savory dish using the three mystery ingredients provided. The first mystery ingredient will be flavouring, which may be an herb or spice. The second ingredient will be a protein and the third will be a fruit or vegetable. While cookbook recipes are allowed, we will also accept original dishes which are done in a period manner using appropriate ingredients. We will only be providing the three mystery ingredients, but you are also allowed to use ingredients brought from home or those acquired that day. While you can borrow or share another person?s kitchen facilities and ingredients, the cooking must be done by the registered entrant only. Each contestant must sign up by 11 am on Saturday but you may email your intention to enter the competition instead, by emailing me at innchaos at shaw.ca before Friday at 6pm. There will be a Young Cooks category for those 16 and under. Please inform us if you are in this category when you register. Those wishing to compete will meet Saturday at 2pm, at which time they can ask any questions and get their three ingredients. The dishes must be submitted by Saturday at 5pm for judging. Judging will be based on: 1. How period are the dishes. This takes into consideration the ingredients and methods used. 2. How the dishes are presented. This takes into consideration the differences in how various cultures and time periods served their food. 3. How the three mystery ingredients are incorporated into the dishes. 4. How the dishes taste. While each time period had differences in their perception of what tastes good, we are dealing with modern palates, so keep that in mind. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

A discussion on advanced inkle weaving has led to a class on pickup inkle weaving being taught at Canine War, this coming weekend. Mualana Halima will teach this technique to experienced inkle weavers. There is no charge. There are three spots available - please let myself or Halima know if you wish one of the spaces. You will need to have your own inkle loom, warped to Halima's specifications, ahead of class time. There will be University of Tir Righ credit for the class.

While we all have Tir Righ A&S on the brain, I thought I would drop this into everyone?s consciousness. The Baron announced a while ago that the A&S and Bardic Championships for Seagirt will be held at Yule, December 13th, this year. To that end, here is the format for the A&S competition: Enter any 3 items you wish, one of the items doesn?t need to be finished and you need documentation for at least 2 of the items. To elaborate, Item 1: either an art or a science with documentation Item 2: either an art or a science with documentation Item 3: either an art or a science with or without documentation, can be unfinished. All entrants will declare their intent AT the event during court. There will be tables available to display your items and documentation. If you have any questions, please don?t hesitate to ask.
