Come join your fellow artisans for an informal day of classes and camaraderie, at the Dragon’s Laire Arts & Sciences Day Camp. Bring your projects and have some fun. No SCA garb required. Just wear street clothes.
The Arts & Sciences Day Camp is held twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall.
