A&S Activities

Arts & Sciences is the term used in the SCA for all the crafts, skills, and technologies practiced in the time and cultures that our studies cover. SCA participants learn and practice these skills, and then share them with others. You will see the results in use and on display at our events – the costumes worn, the armor used in combat, the illuminated scrolls presented in court, and the recipes used for a feast, just to name a few.

In the Barony of Mag Mor

Members of Mag Mor learn about the past by researching period arts, crafts and traditions. We then experience history by recreating it! The Barony has artisans skilled at spinning, weaving, dyeing, music, calligraphy & illumination, leather working, costuming, cooking, scroll text composition, painting, tool making, storytelling, bead making, brewing, and many other topics. You can see our artisans practicing their skills at meetings, demos and events.
