What Medieval Calligraphy taught this Eagle River Lawyer | INDIE ALASKA

Greg Henrikson, a lawyer in Eagle River, became fascinated with Medieval History and delved into medieval calligraphy for the Historic Recrudescence Guild (HRG), a Medieval Re-enactment group. The HRG sets up a medieval village annually at the Three Barons Renaissance Fair in Anchorage, Alaska. Greg initially thought it would be an easy hobby to learn, but soon realized he would have to teach himself all the elements of this ancient craft.

Thanks! I do teach a class at the spring Celtic Fest, and I'll be up at Highland Games in a few weeks with my booth if it doesn't get blown away by the winds again.
