== Introduction ==


My name is Scolastica Capellaria. I have been involved in the SCA since May of 2019. I was once a medieval art history student, fascinated with art objects that sat on museum shelves undocumented, unseen and often unloved. I wrote my undergraduate Honors Thesis on Ivory Mirror cases from the fourteenth century and explored the topics of courtly love, chess, and ivory carving production which exploded during this period. Fast forward six years, a carrier change, and a move across the country, I was watching costume making videos on youtube and stumbled across Morgan Donner making a medieval cotehardie. For the first time, I realized I could not only do the things that I loved, making historical costumes, researching medieval artwork, and eating delicious foods, but I could do those things with other like minded people.  
My name is Scolastica Capellaria. I have been involved in the SCA since May of 2019. I have a background in Art History, textiles and jewelry making. I went to undergrad at Kent State University where I majored in medieval Art History and minored in Crafts, focusing on textiles and jewelry and metals. I wrote my undergraduate Honors Thesis on Ivory Mirror cases from the fourteenth century and explored the topics of courtly love, chess, and ivory carving production which exploded during this period. While working on my masters I studied the collection of jewelry from Turkey and Greece spanning many centuries and researched Aquamaniles and reliquary boxes. I have a profound interest in material culture and the way that it shapes our understanding of history.  


In the SCA I am most interested in the arts and sciences and I dabble (and I mean dabble) in archery. I specialize in historic garb research and patterning and to say I do embroidery in my free time is an understatement. Something about stabbing the needle through fabric gives me great joy. I don't know what it is.
In the SCA I am most interested in A&S and understanding medieval life. I love historical garment making and find that wearing medieval garments, and experiencing how they change the way you walk, move and dance are fantastic experiences. My goal is to create a medieval garb from head to toe from a specific time and place.
 
I would consider myself first and foremost an embroiderer. In 2021 I spent the year learning a different historical embroidery style each month. And in 2022 I have spent the year working on larger projects using what I learned as well as teaching those techniques to others.
 
After mastering several embroidery styles I am now focused on learning other techniques outside of embroidery that go into the recreation of medieval life. In 2023 I completed a project recreating the accessories of a 14th century noble lady of Lower Saxony. My goals of 2024 include broadening my collection of sixteenth century clothing and creating textile accessories for my sixteenth century camp.  
 
In March of 2021 I became a student of [[Elizabet Marshall|Elizabet Marshall]] and became an apprentice on June 3, 2022. The focus of my apprenticeship is on Precision, Tension and Accuracy.


== Persona ==
== Persona ==
Describe your persona and persona history (as much as you wish)
Scolastica is a lady from sometime in Western Medieval Europe (probably somewhere between 1200 and 1600). Her greatest joy in life is learning new things, researching very old things, and discussing these things with others. She loves to make things. She has a fondness of hats and headgear of all shapes and sizes. She often can be found embroidering in the shade, eating cubes of cheese wherever they can be found, and smiling and waving at her friends. She is a lover of games, and if you ask nicely she will gladly play Nine Man's Morris, Chess, or her favorite: fox and geese. Like many a medieval lady she enjoys sport on occasion and will try her hand at archery. Scolastica is a lover of poetry and the songs of troubadours and does very much enjoy discussing the rules of courtly love. She has begun to play the recorder and enjoys recommendations for song and dance (though she has several left feet). After spending her life indoors among her books, Scolastica has recently found great joy in camping and being outside, though her constitution is often weak and causes her to seek shade and refreshment frequently. Scolastica appreciates gifts of water and sporting beverages such as aid of the alligator, as if they were cups of gold.

Introduction

My name is Scolastica Capellaria. I have been involved in the SCA since May of 2019. I have a background in Art History, textiles and jewelry making. I went to undergrad at Kent State University where I majored in medieval Art History and minored in Crafts, focusing on textiles and jewelry and metals. I wrote my undergraduate Honors Thesis on Ivory Mirror cases from the fourteenth century and explored the topics of courtly love, chess, and ivory carving production which exploded during this period. While working on my masters I studied the collection of jewelry from Turkey and Greece spanning many centuries and researched Aquamaniles and reliquary boxes. I have a profound interest in material culture and the way that it shapes our understanding of history.

In the SCA I am most interested in A&S and understanding medieval life. I love historical garment making and find that wearing medieval garments, and experiencing how they change the way you walk, move and dance are fantastic experiences. My goal is to create a medieval garb from head to toe from a specific time and place.

I would consider myself first and foremost an embroiderer. In 2021 I spent the year learning a different historical embroidery style each month. And in 2022 I have spent the year working on larger projects using what I learned as well as teaching those techniques to others.

After mastering several embroidery styles I am now focused on learning other techniques outside of embroidery that go into the recreation of medieval life. In 2023 I completed a project recreating the accessories of a 14th century noble lady of Lower Saxony. My goals of 2024 include broadening my collection of sixteenth century clothing and creating textile accessories for my sixteenth century camp.

In March of 2021 I became a student of Elizabet Marshall and became an apprentice on June 3, 2022. The focus of my apprenticeship is on Precision, Tension and Accuracy.
