Queen’s College at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire
California
The Original Renaissance Pleasure Faire, going on now through May 23th in Irwindale, is hosting a series of Queen’s College Workshops. The online catalog lists 24 different arts that can be learned. From Embroidery to Painting, Chain Mail to Woodcarving, they’ve got a little bit of everything. There are even a couple of classes designated wholly for children.
Taught under the auspices of the nonprofit educational organization, the NorCal Institute for Renewal of Past Arts and the Artist, these classes are designed to teach about renaissance period crafts and trades. There are both drop-in 1-2 hours classes where you begin when you get there and scheduled classes that have specific beginning and ending times. Fees range from $3 to $25 and include the supplies needed to complete the project.
Check out the catalog and let us know if you take any classes. It’s something I’d like to see at Faire!
