Fingerloop Braiding – A College Specialty!
Fingerloop braiding is a set of techniques used to create cords and lace braids from string. There are many well-established patterns, but it is easy to come up with your own. The College of St Basil is fortunate to have a substantial experience base in fingerloop braiding. Lady Skjaldadís is a veteran braider and would be happy to introduce you to the craft. All you need are fingers, string, a bit of patience and a willingness to learn. More information can be found at Fingerloop.org.
The Pavilion Cover
In early 2009 a pavilion was acquired by the College for sitting under at events, very important for those summer tournies. Shortly afterwards fabric was acquired with which to cover the pavilion in order to transform it from a modern shelter to something a little more medieval. Only now however, at the dawning of 2010 have we got round to putting it all together …
Update 19/2/2010: The cover was finished with several hours to spare before our biggest recruiting opportunity of the year, UWA O-Day. A group of dedicated Collegians worked well into the small hours to complete the Pav Cover.
