A&S Ithra – Drinking horn customization/creation

Have you ever dreamed of owning your own custom-carved drinking horn? This is the class for you! Learn how to transform a plain, store-bought horn into a one-of-a-kind piece worthy of feasts, mead halls, and bragging rights. In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to strip the factory polish, use a Dremel to carve your own designs, and properly re-finish your horn so it’s ready for display—or drinking. Whether you want simple runes, bold patterns, or something wild from your imagination, this class will give you the beginner skills to make it happen. Dress warm and be ready to craft! Come carve your legend—one horn at a time

Small cattle/buffalo horns will be provided for the first 10 attendees. If you have a Dremel you’re willing to bring and share, please do—we’ll only have one or two available.

A&S Ithra – Event Planning

How do they pull this off?” Everyone has asked it at some point. This class lifts the curtain and shows you exactly how events come together. From massive campouts to small, local holding-level gatherings, we’ll cover the fundamentals of planning, organizing, and running events that people talk about long after the last tent comes down. Timelines, logistics, staffing, budgeting, safety planning, communication, and how to prepare for the inevitable chaos when things don’t go according to plan. We’ll also talk about how to scale events up or down, keep your staff sane, and make sure your players walk away saying, “That was awesome.”

Whether you want to run your first event, help on staff, or just understand what it takes to make the magic happen, this seminar will give you the tools to turn ideas into unforgettable experiences. Come learn how epic events are forged—not by accident, but by planning.

5 pm

A&S Ithra – Fundamentals of hand sewing

We’ve covered the fancy tricks of sewing machines—now it’s time to master the old-school skill that never needs power. In this class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of hand sewing, a skill every crafter, adventurer, and costumer should have in their kit. You’ll build a pair of basic bracers from scratch using a simple, one-pattern-piece design that requires only three measurements. Along the way, you’ll learn essential hand-sewing techniques, including straight-line stitching, creating button and lacing holes, explaining what stitch is best for repairs, and why a thimble is your best friend when the work gets tough.
This class focuses on practical knowledge you can use anywhere—from making new gear to repairing it in the field. No machines, just needle, thread, and skill. Come learn the stitches that hold your kit—and your garb—together.

The Knighting of Dizzet Lionheart

Dizzett joined our game when they were still in high school. Over the last 9 years, our kingdom has watched this young pupil become the heart of our game. Anytime anyone needs a hand, or help running a game, Dizzett is there. For the first few years of joining, they loved exploring the classes of Archer and Barbarian; which one day would land them thier Paragon Barbarian (2024). They also earned thier Paragon Healer in 2022. Dizzett is one of those people that will pick up whatever class is needed when a battlegame or quest is called. You need a 6th level Wizard with balls to throw amuck and spread chaos, Dizzett is there. You need a 6th level Monk out there as target practice, Dizzett is there. A candy Druid? Dizzett is there. Come share in the celebration of Squire Dizzett Lionheart being elevated to the title of Chevalier, Knight of Battle. Friday evening at Winterbash Feb 20, 2026.
