Come one, come all to the Shire of Misty Highlands on February 6, 2010 for a fun-filled day of learning! We are offering such a wonderful array of classes that you will no doubt feel an awakening in your limbs as your minds are filled to the brim with knowledge. The day’s classes will focus on arts and sciences that require a pen or a needle to complete. Join us as we learn how to draw illuminations, how to cut quills, how to embroider, how to hand-sew period garments, and so many other interesting things! A 50-50 raffle will be held to help offset travel expenses for our gracious teachers. Donations will also be welcome.
