As a professional historical interpreter, I offer demonstrations of
braiding, heddle and tablet weaving as a silkwoman. These can be made
either as a display or as participatory and educational workshops for
both children and adults. A variety of costume and practical uses of
these narrow wares are also shown.
Lectures and displays as a
housewife cook showing a wide range of utensils and methods with witty
overview on statusm ingredients, availability, etiquette and custom. A
full cookery demonstration, from start to finished dish, can be
performed where facilities are available.
