Harts' Haven Company
Home is Where the Hart Is
Welcome to Harts' Haven Company! We are proud members of the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) and if you don't know what that means, we highly encourage you to check it out! Best summarized, from the SCA's home site:
"The Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) is an inclusive community pursuing research and re-creation of pre-seventeenth century skills, arts, combat and culture. The lives of participants are enriched as we gain knowledge of history through activities, demonstrations, and events."
Harts' Haven Co is an artisan household under the stewardship of Mistress Ambra Michelli, OL (Laurel), SCA, and is a subsidiary of our greater house - Mooselodge. Think of households like service fraternities - all different and proud but with a similar mission. For us, it is service, the pursuit of knowledge, artistic expression, and the sharing of all we learn in our eclectic studies. This includes YouTube tutorials, written articles, online portfolios of projects past, and so much more!
