before she was in school. Emer has made kid clothes, stuffed animals, quilts,
formal dresses, and then she found Amtgard and found her favorite genre of
sewing. She also does fabric painting and making things that are no longer
useful into gadgets or doodads, just for fun. Recently she has picked up woodworking,
thanks to the local maker space, and she is working on picture frames first.

ditch line. This Clan she will be offering two classes: Card or Tablet Weaving,
and Shoemaking!
Lady Jade Skymaine of Eastwind Castle,

mischief and shenanigans generally involving glitter. She means well, but finds
it fun to count eye rolls and facepalms. Hobbies are her hobby and she does
everything from hand embroidery to knitting, and foam crafting to baking. Any
craft is an acceptable challenge. In conjunction with her partner in crime,
Lavender Skymaine, she will be teaching the Wand Making and Flower Crowns.
Lavender Skymaine is from EastWind Castle in Trenton, SC, Kingdom of Winter's Edge and is currently the regent of her local park. She is a Faerie who enjoys spreading happiness across Amtgard. She is teaching the Flower Crowns and Wand Making classes.

Eliza Joy loves beading and
beadwork and believes it was the “bling” of the Middle Ages. BEADING AND
BEADWORK (It was the "BLING" of the middle ages!) I will be teaching
about beads - how to tell real pearls and gem stones, creative storage ideas,
Documentation on beading (in the middle ages which can carry over to the
Amtgard world), where to find beads (so you don't break the bank buying all the
pretties), how to embelish garments, how to let the garment talk to you, even
time to pick a pouch, pick some beads and needle/thread and start your own
obsession with buying, collecting, choosing and using the right beads! I will
have enough for 20 people to "Make and Take" along to documentation.
Come to my beading class as "BEADS ARE YOUR FRIEND!!!)
