This site is for those in the East Kingdom of the Society of Creative Anachronism
that are interested in the Medieval arts of Stone Carving, Architecture, and Masonry.

The Guild of Stone Carvers, Architects and Masons (GoSCAM) is all about the fostering
of those medieval arts. It is a purposefully broad group to allow a wide range of
overlapping information.

Stone Carving includes the arts of figurative and relief sculpting as well as decortive
work such as scrollwork and rune carving.

Architecture includes the drawing and planning of medieval structures, as well as the
drafting of stone carvings, scrollwork, and knotwork.

Masonry includes all the arts involved in connecting stones together, such as mortar,
inlay, bricklaying and structural engineering.

These are tied together by certain underlying principles, including such things as the
golden proportion and other forms of gothic geometry.

The goal of this group is to create a community that shares information on these topics.
Discussing the information they have found or learned with all the others. It is also meant
to be a support structure for members of the Guild to ask questions, get advice, and know
they aren't alone in their arts.

Once there is enough interest, I will be drafting a charter and presenting it to the
reigning monarchs of the East Kingdom. I have a good idea what I want the Guild to be all about,
but am willing to entertain suggestions.

I hope this yahoo group will be of benefit not only in forming the Guild, but also a continuing support to it.

The Founder, Lord Alaric Jäger von Bremen, O.M.
