This page is intended as a resource for the students at UCSC (and anyone else!) interested in the SCA--the Society for Creative Anachronism. We do medieval recreation--recreating the best of the middle ages and Renaissance, the arts and the sciences of the period, western martial arts such as sword fighting and fencing, exploring the ideals of the period such as honor and chivalry, but leaving out things like plague and torture!

The student group is now registered as an official SOAR organization "the UCSC Medieval & Renaissance Club." We've had quite a few good meetings so far this year and we look forward to more. Fall quarter featured workshops ranging across calligraphy & illumination, three costuming workshops, and more as well as cheesemaking off-campus. Winter quarter has various fiber arts planned so far--spinning, tablet weaving, embroidery--, syrups & preserves off-campus, and more to come. We are looking for teachers as well.

Check out our other pages to find out about other upcoming activities and events on campus and nearby, and for resources to learn more about who we are and what we do. For the latest news on what we're up to, check us out on Facebook.
