As medieval combat students, we are always referring to the manuscripts of the medieval period, but how were they actually made and how long did it take to create a page or image?
Join us for this talk where Mary Kempski will take you on a fascinating conservation journey, from the earliest Medieval Altarpiece created in England in 1275, to the 19th century and David Parr House in Cambridge.
Tanya interprets contemporary subjects into expressions of historical embroidery with a delightful sense of fun, adding such details as a goat with a bow tie and a Cadbury cream egg.
Expect all manner of fantasy themed market stalls and merriment: play games, have a go at archery or sample Eoin's Tankard mead while you watch weapons forging; or have a unicorn ride!
Make sure to save the date and look out for full festival details, which will be launched later this month online at visitardsandnorthdown.com and visitmournemountains.co.uk
Embrace your inner Viking and join the invasion this March!
