Ideas for Hrim Schola

[bunnyjadwiga]

I want to go to Hrim Schola this year. I want to teach at Hrim Schola. I have no idea what to teach. I'm no fiber geek, and I've already taught sauces, and medieval scents, and medieval gardens there, so I figure most of the people who go to Hrim Schola have seen those.
Ideas for an herb-, food-, and ceremony- geek to teach at a fiber-geek event?

Ceremony... she says...

Hand washing - which I know you know about, and which includes - wait for this - towels. Table settings, which require table linens. It's all very well to make textiles - people have to know how to use them! (Fabric - it's not just for clothing!)

If I ever start weaving again, really, I want to make table linens, as that's what I always did mundanely, but I don't know offhand size, precise use, etc. (I have a foggy memory of reading about something that was sort of a coss between a modern placemat and a modern napkin. I have no idea where. Was I hallucinating, or is this something I should be looking into?)

I'm thinking of teaching a distaff spinning course, but I'm not sure I'll be ready. Or that anyone wants it... Or that if anyone does, I can teach more than a couple of people. Maybe just a lecture and demo? We know I do that all too annoyingly well... Maybe both? Now I'm really in over my head!

Good Ideas. I'm still working on something like this, but not by Hrim Schola.
