Arts and Sciences

Combat is just one part of the SCA. A vast amount of activity within the SCA involves Arts and Sciences, from the clothing we make and wear, to the armour constructed and decorated, to the foods cooked at feasts – generally these are all explorations into Arts and Sciences.

Innilgard has a strong presence in a number of historically based Arts and Sciences including scribal work/calligraphy, cooking, sewing, embroidery, painting, dancing, blacksmithing, armor making and woodworking among other explorations.

Arts and Sciences are by no means limited to these activities and can include almost any pursuit or activity that was undertaken in pre-17th century culture.

We host a number of Arts and Sciences competitions, locally and interstate, that are open for all to enter.

Arts and Sciences activities run from 1200 at our Regular Meetings (1100 for dance) on Sundays and we run Arts & Sciences Nights on alternate Mondays, if you are interested in learning more please feel free to contact our Arts & Sciences officer Fionn o’Mara via email: hollyt75@hotmail.com

The forms for A&S Competitions can be found here.
