The College of Blaiddwyn invites you to come out and make merry in the crisp winter mountain air in al-barran. Test your strength among the competitors for the title of Defender of The Pack and Champion of Blaiddwyn.
If your skills are not of the martial variety,
vie for the honor of Blaiddwyn Enlightener (A&S Champion), Blaiddwyn Provider (the cooking champion) or if your talents are more of performance based, compete for the title of Munin Bard of Blaiddwyn (Bardic Champion).
If you are not the competitive sort then learn from al-Barran and Blaiddwyn artisans in one of the many classes that are going to be offered. Please, come enjoy the merriment and frivolity of a winter’s day.

Class Descriptions:
Beginning Inkle Weaving: Lady Bianca Mantegna: We will discuss weaving
theory and history and development of the inkle loom and then warp the looms
in a simple pattern. Participants will need to bring an un-warped inkle
loom and shuttle. I will provide thread and the handouts with patterns. I
will only have enough handouts for the class participants. Class size is 15
persons max and anyone under the age of 10 will need adult help.
Class is open to persons 7 to 1000.
Simple Weaving: Lady Bianca Mantegna:This is a very basic type of weaving
done on a simple loom I have found that this is a good way to introduce
people to weaving as this is a very quick project. I will provide looms and
all materials needed to complete the project. There is no handout. Class size
is 20 and ages are 8 to 1000. Those under age 12 will need adult help.
This class is very simple and will take about 1-1.5 hours to complete
