Activities We will be having an Artisan's Row featuring the following crafts: Goldsmithing Leather mask making Fiber arts Period fiber dying Beadwork Period Apothecary booth BEAD EXCHANGE We will be having a bead exchange on Saturday afternoon, July 12 at 2:00 PM (location TBA) at Push for Pennsic, focusing on Norse/Viking glass beads. Norse clothing and jewelry is popular in our area, but buying a lot of different beads to replicate the variety of shapes, types, and sizes of glass beads gets expensive quickly. To participate, all you need is at least one 16-inch strand of beads (they don't all have to be the same) you are willing to trade away. For those of you who are less familiar with the beads of the Vikings but want to participate, here are some websites with pictures of artifacts and/or replicas: Viking Answer Lady: http://www.vikinganswerlady.com/vikbeads.shtml Class on Norse Glass Beads: http://www.willadsenfamily.org/sca/isabel_as/bead-class/glass_bead_class.pdf Photos of artifacts (select "Beads, single ones") : http://www.arkeodok.com/indexpictures1.html Regia Anglorum article: http://www.regia.org/glass.htm Don't forget about the 3rd Annual Youth Garb Swap at Push for Pennsic!
