Arts and Sciences

The SCA has a vibrant Arts & Sciences community that creates artifacts and performances that enhance our re-creation of our Current Middle Ages. These arts and sciences are founded on research that informs these creations ranging in historical accuracy from museum quality replicas to objects or performances that creatively reference those that could have been. The fun and learning is in the doing!

The way we learn by doing ranges from self-research, to joining guilds, to teaching and learning from each other in formal classes. We share these arts and sciences casually with each other, and formally through displays, classes, and competitions.
