Wow. I'm trying to think of anything I do that would be salable and
period. We'd been discussing a scheme to produce Roman Samian ware,
but that'd be too SCA-ish a time-frame to fit into a medieval village.
Cooking, perhaps? I already tend toward open-fire cooking, as I
cooked the dinner for Da'ud's Islamic event over a charcoal fire.
(Not enough courses to really call a feast....)

I'd show up for a week -- it actually sounds more like an extended
version of the ** Year Celebration. I'd expect an explicit course
outline, as the teachers would also be SCA and I can't really imagine
the same thing every week. Gee, it already sounds attractive....
