The Living History Student Society is open to any members of UHI Orkney wanting to try out historical crafts and partake in historical shenanigans!
We currently try to meet on a regular weekly basis. We have tried different historical crafts, such tablet-weaving, needle-binding, embroidery and more!
Our current projects include a historical feast where we will try out historical recipes, as well as embroidering scenes from the Orkneyinga Saga in the Bayeux Tapestry style :D
We do not have a membership fee, since not all members might want to participate in every project (and a lot of them can be self funded). Any new member however, needs to do an online registration, were they agree on a simple code of conduct, which needs to be renewed every academic year.
For any further questions or suggestions for potential crafts, you are very welcome to contact Mila Tabone : 23001515@uhi.ac.uk
