Hello,

I have recently learned about an event that may be of interest. It is the Sword Festival at the Deutsches Klingenmuseum Solingen. In particular, there is a collectors workshop.

Dates: Saturday & Sunday | 14. & 15. JUL 2018

Sword Festival (http://www.klingenmuseum.de/_english/dkm/schwertfestival.html)

“Numerous companies, metal designers, artists, fencing schools and associations have already registered for our Sword Festival. Its partial events – The Sword Fair, the Infocafé and the Collector's Meeting – all of them will provide a wide range of different items and interesting people and will certainly be an experience for exhibitors and visitors.

The gymnasium located directly next to the Blade Museum, which we have reserved for our workshop programme, will be in use throughout both festival-days. In one-hour-slots, German and international "fencing professionals" will offer workshops – from the historical European fencing to Asian styles or duels with the lightsaber.

The lecture progamm is dedicated, for example, to topics such as "The sword fighting Arts of Japan", "Development and study of European Medieval and Renaissance single-edged swords" or the experiences of a female fencer in the "men's domain" HEMA.

In the museum’s court, demonstrations will be staged on both festival days, with fencing artists presenting different European and Asian styles. Practicing fencers will be given the opportunity to perform cutting-tests with their own weapon.

Last but not least: the gastronomy professionals Royal Catering will provide a barbecue buffet and coffee and cakes on both festival days. The comprehensive menu will include plenty of delicacies for every palate (including vegetarian/vegan).

The registration deadline for exhibitors is still open until 30 April – registration form at http://www.klingenmuseum.de/assets/f...pplication.pdf

Best Regards,

Dave A
