Arts & Sciences

There will be several arts and sciences competitions, as well as an open display area.

1. Baronial Arts and Sciences Champion – In order to select the Baronial Arts and Sciences Champion, the artisans are given a choice of medium. The theme shall be land and sea (please no cooked or raw seafood of any type), with emphasis on the colors and/or symbols of Tir-y-Don, and also early 16th C Italy. Regardless of the type of entry, the artisan must also submit documentation to support the work.

Scroll Blanks – Mistress Tannis of Tir-y-Don is sponsoring a scroll blank completion.  Scroll blanks must be based on an Italian manuscript, 1450-1550 C.E.  The only documentation required is: a copy of the exemplar the artist used for inspiration (this can be a photocopy of the page or bringing a book with the page marked), a description of materials and methods used, anything you should feel the judge should know about your work. Entrants are encouraged to donate the scroll blanks to the barony or kingdom.  Please leave at least ¾ inch of white border around the edge for framing.
