Brymstonne Badge

Arts and Sciences


The College of Brymstonne, being a college-based group, is dedicated to learning. The College is open to hosting classes during the Tuesday meetings, and has members experienced in - for example - clothing, leatherworking, chain jewelry and more! Don't worry...these are not garbed events, nor are they limited to Brymstonne or SCA members. Everyone is welcome to attend these meetings!


Also, upon request, experienced instructors in other crafts can be asked to participate in these workshops. The topics of any given class or workshop are chosen according to the interests of the participants, as well as the convenience of the instructor. Most of Brymstonne's classes are intended for beginners, so that they have exposure to a wide range of topics before trying to choose a particular focus in the SCA.


Please check the calendar to see a list of dates and locations. If you would like to request a class topic or would like to teach a class, please contact Lady Bebinn ingen Domnaill, our Minister of Arts and Sciences. We'd love to have you join us in our quest for knowledge!
