One of the best places to get inspiration for SCA projects is at SCA events. Even events with no classes will have artisans sitting around casually spinning, sewing, knitting or working on whatever their portable craft of choice is. And I have yet to attend an event where I did not see at least one piece of garb that drew my eye.
Most artisans are more than happy to discuss their work, their process, their research. Events also often offer competitions or displays where you can check out a completed piece or a work-in-progress and typically view the documentation along with the work.
One of the most artistically inspiring things I have come across in the SCA is the A&S Display at Pennsic (to be held this year, on Sunday, August 3, from 1-6pm in the new Great Hall). For those unfamiliar with this display, it is a gathering of artisans from across the Known World showing off some truly incredible projects. It is absolutely worth checking out! to whet your appetite for this year's display, below is a gallery of some of the wonderful pieces I have seen over the years!
