A&S Blog

Arts and Sciences Blog

The Southron Gaard Arts and Science blog is a place to collate and display the A&S works of our populace. Here you will find pictorial and written articles of people’s entries to competitions, latest projects, research notes, trials (and errors!), musings, ponderings, and accomplishments across all forms of Art and Science.

When we say all forms of A&S, we mean all forms of A&S! Woodworking, sewing, metalworking, cooking, dancing, music, jewellery-making, leatherworking, weaving, heraldry, scribal work, research of all kinds – if it’s an Art or Science, it has a place in this blog. No article too big or too small, no topic too broad or too niche, we’d love to see them all, and all can send them in.

If you would like to contribute a post, please contact the A&S Officer, who will upload it on your behalf.

  • UFO Challenge: Angus’s Roman Ensemble
    by sganschallenge

    Angus submits a black linen tunic as a newly completed item in Southron Gaard’s UFO Challenge.

    Entered in the categories:
    • Why didn’t I just finish this?
    • Bored now!
    In Angus’s words:

    “My black Roman tunic initially started for Julia Fortunata’s naming ceremony in AS57” (left picture below).
    “Never completed and actually never worn at the time. 
    Finally completed and modified to a shorter version to go with the newer parts of my roman combinations.” (right picture below)
