Laurel's Prize Tourney - Material Culture!
Good day, fair artisans!
One of the deepest rabbit holes of historical recreation is that of Material Culture - what do people have in their homes, their shops, their pockets? What do they carry when they travel? What objects populate their everyday existence? The Material Culture challenges of the Laurels' Prize Tourney invite you to journey down this very rabbit hole!
- Mistress Ygraine invites you to recreate an item that would be useful to a hunter or archer, or something with a hunting or archery theme.
- Master Aleksandr would like to see something that would be found on the route one travels between Muscovy and London in the late sixteenth century.
- Mistress Morwenna asks that you bring her an item that would be familiar to a gentlewoman of Elizabeth's England.
- Master Angus invites you to create an everyday tool, something that would be at the hand of a craftsperson every day that they plied their trade.
As you can see, our Material Culture challenges are our broadest in scope - let your imagination run and think capaciously! And when you have finished, bring your challenge reply to the Tourney in March in Carolingia. We look forward to seeing it!
