Teachers






Sir Jocelyn Achard (Nikki Steninger) Master Dragon, fibre-arts addict, Clan A&S competition organizer.

Lord Squire Eronim Faitzhand (Charles Weston Fitzgerald) from the Duchy of Darkmoon in the Empire of the Iron Mountains. I've been in amtgard for not quite 4 years (as of clan). I started doing chainmaille because I wanted to learn to make armor for myself. That was very quickly put to the side when I discovered just how fun the jewelry side of the art was. Both of the classes I'll be teaching are designed for those with little to no experience and nothing will be required to be able to participate. For my armor course I would recommend bringing your own pliers because steel isn't friendly on the hands to work with but I will have sets available. If you desire to supply your own tools and/or materials feel free to contact me and I can let you know what you'll need and give my recommendations on what would make a good starting set.

Baronette Illeria (Jade Farrar) hails from Darkmoon of Amtgard in the Empire of the Iron Mountains. She's been an active member for about five years and has held multiple officer positions locally. She's Woman at Arms to Arch Duke Bruin Valorn, belted sister to Lord Jinkx Abadon, and her Man at Arms is Kraken. Currently at 7 Orders of the Dragon, Illeria is working toward her Masterhood, and happily seeks to acquire new skills to help her achieve that goal.

Lord Jinkx "Taco Spice" Abaddon (Manuel "Manny" Soto). I am from Colorado Springs, CO that is Darkmoon from the Empire of the Iron Mountains. I like long walks on the beach & enjoy reading poetry, Wait this isn't that kind of bio! In Amtgard I am training to become a Warlord, I have been doing spray paint art for 2 years now, and this will be the first time that i will be teaching a class.

Lady Squire Taaran Coldheart (Abby Wade), is from Sun's Haven in Dragonspine.

Contessa Squire UpMihr D. (Alicia Pants) Beanslaw: Iron Mountains has been playing Amtgard for 18 years.

Wild Woman (Sarah Spirit) has been teaching and performing belly dance for almost 30 years. She has studied with Delilah of Seattle, Mesmera of Los Angeles, Eva Chernik of Denver and Katia of Albuquerque. Sarah has taught and performed in Nevada, Colorado Springs, and Silver City and Las Cruces, NM. For ten years she taught and directed her troupe 'The Eternal Dancers' in New Mexico. Sarah is semi-retired now and lives in the White Mountains of Arizona. She teaches at both Amtgard and SCA and is available for workshops and retreats.

Sari (Sean Chapel) Pegasus Valley, Albuquerque NM Kingdom of Dragonspine. I've been using this method of netting around bottles for several years, and it's among my favorite projects to craft.

Artimus Kielder (Steve Black) Wyvern’s Roost, Kingdom of Dragonspine. He is a combat veteran, a systems engineer, and a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to skills men have lost. His free time is spent brewing beer and mead, hunting, leatherworking, knitting, crocheting, and and learning new skills. He started Amtgard in November of 2017 and has been awarded the first order of the Rose, the first order of the Garber, and first and second order of the Owl. His goal is to one day earn the title of serpent knight.

Wulfric Lightning Fullmast (Kyle Fullwood) is from Cloud's Edge in Dragonspine.
