Arts and Sciences

Minister_Arts_and_Sciences.png‎ The Arts and Sciences are the crafts, skills, and technologies from the time period and cultures that the SCA covers. Participants research, study, and practice these skills and then share their results with others. They can be seen in use and on display at events - such as the recipes used for a feast, the armor worn in combat, the scrolls presented in Court, and the garb worn at events.
