Some photos from the Walk Through History at Clothiers’ Seminar XXXIII
As usual, this year’s Clothier’s Seminar was full of interesting classes and discussions throughout the day. From construction and drafting, to embroidery, to archaeology and culture, many of the aspects of the clothing we use in the SCA was covered.
Of special interest this year was the memorial honoring Master Nikolai Sazhka Kolosov. Master Sashatec passed away recently, and in his memory the finale of the Walk Through History showcased some of his many creations. His work was also on display throughout the day, as a centerpiece of the event.
The schedule for Clothiers has been posted on the website.

Greetings unto the Populace of Calontir,
The Barony of Forgotten Sea will be holding a Costume Show based upon the theme of “Allegories, Myths, and Saints”. Often in Medieval Illuminations, ideas and allegories are personified in costumes that do not reflect what people actually wore. Saints, gods, and historical figures are also often shown in fantastical costumes. However, these costumes are intriguing and appealing to SCA folks precisely because they are atypical. So, let your creativity fly, and come dressed in garb that is inspired by the allegories, myths and saints of the Middle Ages. I look forward to seeing all the inspired garb.If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at artsandsciences@bfs-kc.org. Below are a couple of examples.
YIS,
Lady Cecilia de Gatisbury,
BFS Arts and Science Minister
When and Where: Kris Kinder, Dec. 14th in the Barony of Forgotten Sea. Time TBA
