Arts and Sciences in the Barony of Rowany
Arts and Sciences in the SCA is the pursuit of beauty and practicality using period methods. Arts and Sciences can include the production of objects through period methods (such as sewing), or can take the form of performance of period skills (for example, dancing or rapier).
Rowany has artisans interested in a wide variety of artistic endeavours, from costuming and cooking, through singing, dance, embroidery, woodwork, leatherwork, armouring, millinery, calligraphy and illumination, brewing, to period timekeeping, table-setting, astronomy, shoe-making, coopering, equestrian arts - the list goes on and on! If there's anything that was made or done during the SCA period that you're interested in, the chances are we've got someone who's tried it and can give you some pointers.
Bethan of Brockwood is Rowany's Arts and Sciences Officer; her role is to facilitate the production and teaching of these crafts. She can be contacted at
