I have been thinking for a while about how best to promote the growth of
medieval and renaissance material culture (The tangible items that are part
of the daily experience of the people and cultures that we as members of
the SCA try to emulate). My personal view is that we can greatly enhance
our shared experience as members of the society, as well as make it more
authentic if we promote the idea and practice of producing period items
using period (or as close as we can approximate) tools and materials and
using them as they would have been used. Aethelmearc has  guilds both at a
Kingdom and local level, as well as artisans, and hobbyists (and just
people who are interested in learning how to do something, or saw something
cool that they want to try in a book) so after briefly bouncing the concept
off of Their Majesties and Their Highnesses, and basing the concept on the
Guild Hall in the Medieval City of York (Jorvik) where all of the guilds
would meet. I have created the Aethelmearc Guild Hall as an informal
organization.

This organization will be dedicated to communication between artisans of
all genres, whether it be cooking, ceramics, metals, tailoring whatever.
The Guild Hall will be run by and for the artisans, outside of the
structure of the formal A&S community, answering as the medieval guilds did
directly to the Crown. As we grow more members we can decide as a body how
formally or informally we as a group want to do things, but the first step
is to set up a forum where we can all communicate. Facebook is the easiest
way to do this so I have created a public group.

All who are AEthelmearc subjects and are interested in the material trades
are welcome to join. The usual prohibitions on mundane politics and being a
jerk apply. Until this is up and running I will retain the right to ban
anyone who is acting like a jerk so be nice
