Scribal Arts

Being called into court to be recognized with an award is perhaps one of the greatest feelings in the SCA.  To commemorate these achievements, the recipient receives a scroll created by scribes.  Scribes are volunteers who freely share their time and creativity by doing Illumination, Calligraphy, Wordsmithing or any/all of the above to produce a unique works of art.

Scribe – An artist who helps make award scrolls to be given out in royal court.

Bhakail boasts some incredibly talented scribes, and pride themselves on sharing their knowledge to add to their ranks.

We host a monthly “scriptorium” where you can gather with your fellow scribes to teach, learn, and share!  ALL experience levels welcome!
