Visit the downtown Klamath County Library for a new monthly event – hands-on workshops with medieval history buffs from the Society for Creative Anachronism! Join us for “Time Travel Tuesdays” on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 5pm. Our first session is Tuesday, April 25th – and we’re making illuminated manuscripts!
From the elaborate flourishes in the Book of Kells to the animated portions of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, the designs and fantastical creatures in illuminated manuscripts are a cornerstone of the “medieval” aesthetic. Learn how these beautiful images were made – and create a few of your own! This event is for history fans of all ages.
The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is a group, founded in California in the 1960s, where fans of pre-17th century eras gather to dress in period clothing, feast, dance, and even swordfight as they examine the “what ifs” of history. And this is hands-on history; if it was done in the Middle Ages or Renaissance, chances are there’s someone in the SCA trying to do it themselves! The organization today boasts more than 30,000 members all over the world. For more about the SCA, visit their website at www.sca.org, or visit the regional website for members from southern-central Oregon at summits.antir.sca.org.
