Here is a list of the classes I am teaching this year at Pennsic.  The Basic Viking Women's Clothing with No Regrets class is NOT on the official calendars, as I only added it this past week to the schedule.

Note that the basic clothing class will be a the new Runestone Campus for University. This is down the hill near the lake.  The fantastic University folks have been kind enough to make a map to the location, which I am including below.

Classes: 

Basic Viking Clothing with No Regrets 

This class is an informal lecture that will focus on how I would rebuild my wardrobe if I had to start all over again, but still know what I know now.  I will discuss my past mistakes and provide ideas for putting together a Viking woman's costume that is evidence based and that can be a good foundation for a more authentic wardrobe.

Beyond the Aprondress

While the aprondress, and its associated brooches, is the ubiquitous women’s garment of the Viking Age, that fashion eventually gave way to other styles.  The class will discuss the reasons for the change and will offer examples of evidence on which to base a late Viking Age kit.  This class will also include discussion on and examples of headcoverings.

A Deeper Look at Textiles & Trim of Viking Age Dress

By looking deeper at both the textiles and the details from extant items, this class aims to help individuals make informed choices for crafting their garments. Tactile examples will clarify the weaves and weight of period fabrics and there will also be discussion of possible modern substitutions. Additionally, practical details for finishing or embellishing garments will also be explored and their history investigated.  The goal of this class is to help the individual understand how daily life during the Viking Age could affect how textiles were crafted and worn.  This class will now include additional discussion and samples of women's Viking Age headcoverings.

UGH! I'm not coming in early enough to catch any of your classes. I hope you will post your handouts after the war. Thanks. :-)

I am sorry you will miss them! I always have to teach earlyish in War Week (not the last few days) because we start packing out on Thursday).

There is no handout for the new one at all. The handouts for Beyond the Aprondress is actually the article by the same name here on my blog. The hand out for the remaining class is "mostly" a collection of articles from here as well under the Viking Textiles Looking Deeper and Viking Costume: Beyond the Myth tab.
