hrjI should note briefly that all these lecture preparations are going towards a set of costume-related lectures I'm doing next Saturday as a fund-raiser for the Vallejo Music Theater.
As noted in their publicity:
On August 2, 2008 Vallejo Music Theatre will host an all day class at 823 Marin St in Vallejo. Our theme is "Early European Costume Research from Existing Garments". Doors will open at 9:30am and begin with registration and coffee. Tickets can be purchased by going to our website vallejomusictheatre.org or by calling Vallejo Music Theatre at 707-649-2787. The price of $45.00 includes lunch and refreshments.
Our classes are:
#1: Researching Costume from Surviving Garments: From the Iceman to Charles the Bold,
#2: The Genealogy of Clothing Construction: Stylistic Changes Across Time and Space - handout included
#3: Medieval Welsh Costume: Researching Less-Documented Cultures - booklet available for sale
Our program includes morning coffee and pastries, lunch (after the first program) hosted by Georgia Street Grill, 314 Georgia Street, Vallejo and a dessert, coffee and conversation finale.
Our presenter is Heather Rose Jones.
Heather was born into an academic family, she has lived at various times in three of the four corners of the continental US as well as three European countries and now currently resides in the SF Bay Area. She has a BS in zoology and spent a decade in medical research. Later she went back to school for a PhD in linguistics (specializing in Medieval Welsh prepositions). She currently works in the biotech field in various capacities.
As a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA), where she is know as Tangwystyl verch Morgant Glasvryn. She loves to share her knowledge with anyone who will stand still long enough to listen. She is also an author and has several publications on language, historic clothing and Wales. The SCA has been an outlet for any number of her historic interests, although she has some seriously academic outlets as well. Research and teaching are great passions in her life.
This is the second event showcasing historic clothing. Last year Vallejo MUsic Theatre hosted the authors of "The Tudor Tailor".
So I've completely finished the "garment genealogies" presentation. I've made serious inroads on adding the text examples to the powerpoint framework for the Welsh costume presentation, and now I'm sitting down with a pot of tea and a bowl of strawberries to identify all the visual examples for the Welsh presentation so I can do my scanning efficiently.
ETA: And the image-identification is done, with an organized list drawn up. I'll work on text on the laptop at lunch tomorrow and should be able to get all the visuals scanned and plugged in tomorrow evening. I'll probably need a bit more text time, so that brings us up to Tuesday evening. Plan Wednesday evening for assembling the handout. That gives me one evening to blow off (are you paying attention![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scotica?) and one to rehearse the presentation. Sounds like it'll work.
