Introduction

  • Lady Shoshana has been an active participant in the SCA since joining the Shire of Caer Adamant in 2005 and delights in learning new crafts and assisting at events.
  • She is joyfully in love with Illumination and absolutely adores Calligraphers and Wordsmiths. She is currently enamored with the works of Albrecht Dürer. Her goal is to one day create a book from scratch, and to continue learning all the time. Shoshana is looking forward to apprenticing to Countess Ro Honig von Sommerfeldt at Birka in 2019.
  • She considers herself a "Craft Nomad", and has set up a craft journal under that name to keep track of her forays into the arts. Shoshana has participated in Heavy Fighting, and likes throwing axes and drinking tea with friends when at events. Her first Pennsic Battlefield was in 43, and she looks forward to joining the East Kingdom army again.
  • Please feel free to reach out with any Illumination questions, or inquire about Scribal nights at her home on Sunday evenings.

Persona

  • Shoshana is currently not pursuing a persona.
  • Her Fighting Persona is generic Viking.
  • At all other times she is usually found in either Roman, Viking, Turkish or Anglo Saxon garb.
