From blacksmithing to weaving, woodworking to jewelry-making, if the craft was practiced before the year 1600, you can find someone practicing it in the SCA. Nordskogen is home to many talented craftspeople who would be happy to teach you at one of our crafting nights.
Blacksmithing & Woodworking
Master Danr Ketilsmiðr and Meistari Katriona ni Chonarain invite you to weekly blacksmithing and woodworking sessions at their East Bethel home, Thursdays from 7:00–9:00 p.m. Please ALWAYS remember to contact them at 763-434-1840 or danr@irontreeworks.com before you head over. Note: these sessions are suspended.
Armoring & Sewing
Their Graces Vlad and Petranella host armoring and sewing on most Mondays starting at 6:00 p.m. in Roseville. Double check Nordskogen’s FaceBook page to make sure the event is occurring.
Armor Shop, Thursdays, 6pm, at THL O’no Kagemori’s House
Kagemori can help you get a kit into the mid-14th century of Western Europe, a bit later for Eastern Europe, and/or up to the end of period in Japan. To get the address, PM Kagemori on Facebook at Josiah Stone. A couple of things: Closed toe shoes are a good idea if you’re going to be working with metal. Work gloves and safety glasses are also a good idea. 1 dog and 2 cats are in residence. He would prefer you be vaccinated, but he will not be asking about it. The nearest ER is 5 miles away.
Rumpelstiltskein
Rumplestiltskein is a fiber-related social gathering held on the second and fourth Sundays of each month, from 11:00 a.m.–2:00 p.m. All fiber activities are welcome, and advice is available in spinning, knitting, weaving and nålbinding. Come enjoy coffee and good company at the Barnes & Noble Cafe at 2100 North Snelling Ave, Roseville, MN, just south of Hwy 36 in the HarMar Mall.
