Master Timotheus Zacharia von Schloss Zwilling

    However, I didn't know any of the A&S I needed to teach, so I took many different classes and studied books. I put together a sample for each art / science and developed class notes. Many of the samples I made were of high beginner or even intermediate quality.

    It was this expereince that showed me that I could do well in the arts if I found a couple that I enjoyed.

    Some of the arts/sciences I taught classes in were:

• Armor Making: Taught several classes on making chain mail and various armor parts.
• Calligraphy: I taught this several times. I turned out at least 3 completed scrolls. Some of the early Scriptoriums were populated by Freehold member who had taken my starter classes.
• Candle Making: Taught twice, but wasn’t very interested in the art. I did, however, turn out several different styles of candles.
• Dancing: Taught the Pavan. Later took several dance classes and at one time could teach all the currently know dances.
• Dying:Taught some simple techniques.
• Heraldry: Taught the basics.
• Herbalism: Taught a class about the basic herbs in use in period.
• Illumination: I taught this several times. I turned out at least 3 completed scrolls. Some of the early Scriptoriums were populated by Freehold member who had taken my starter classes
• Leather working: Turned out 1 set of moccasins, 1 pouch, without a pattern and added some decoration.
• Needlework: Taught many different forms. Did well in all of them. Taught crosstitch 4 times but actually did no project until 2003, did well.
