Woodworkers- Chip Carving
Woodworkers- Place Setting? A spoon?
Talk to Harald Longfellow; not a project they've done before; make sure he understands you know that, and that you're proposing they put together this class as a project of their own. -- T. 5/19
Storytellers- Narration Training
Period Fables?
Talk to Aleksander Yevsha; make it clear that you're looking for neither a lecture, nor a "round-table" for experienced storytellers, nor a performance; be clear that you're proposing something very, very new and different; that you want people to have very short period written stories -- fables, say, or riddles or jokes or poems -- that get passed out, and everyone gets a chance to try telling the one they're handed, and gets feedback and instruction. He needs to know that it's supposed to be hands-on/participatory but require no preparation on the part of attendees. -- T. 5/19
Needleworkers- Period Seams
Needleworkers- Basic Embroidery
Needleworkers- Cardweaving
Making Belts
Head of needleworkers is Rose Otter; I don't know that she does cardweaving, so approach her from the position that you're heard of card-weaving and are looking for a card-weaving teacher, as opposed to the position of asking her to do "something". -- T. 5/19

Not something they've done. Maybe ask Commedia/I Sebastiani. -- T.
Mummers/Kataryn- Spur of the Mumm-ment
Catrin o'r Rhyd For would be the mumming expert, but Christian is the head of the mummers guild. -- T. 5/19
Poetry

Middle Eastern Drumming- Intro
Ask Yelizaveta. Getting enough drums will be really tricky. --T.
Dancers- 3 Ren Dances
