Introduction
Aemilia has been a member of the SCA since 2010/11. A little fun fact, her name was originally Magdalena but no one could remember her name so she changed it to something closer to her mundane name. Her surname is in memory of her mother in law Rose.
Aemilia’s persona is Rus/Viking and she was sent off to learn something scholarly as her nose was more often in old texts. She ended up becoming a world traveler and learning the ways of old monks and learned the art of penmanship and illumination skills.
Area of Study
Aemilia has been a calligrapher since the age of 16. It was a natural fit to pick it up again when she joined the SCA with her husband. She started Calligraphy with Illumination in 2011. Aemilia quickly became interested in the works of Albrecht Durer, a famous Woodcutter and Engraver in 2013. She started making scrolls based on his works and the works of others.
Aemilia is also working on a new project.
