About

I am also known as Lady Ava Deinhardt, a SCAdian and general historical reenactment enthusiast. I have a graduate degree in historical archaeology and explore a wide variety of crafts and interests within the SCA (Society of Creative Anachronism). A general history nerd, I enjoy wood carving, weaving, fencing, and archery.

I am the apprentice of Sir Joselin D'Outremer, a descendent of Clan Oldcastle. I am the lady of House Stagsdale, made up of Sir Carlyle, myself, and his squires. I am a subject of the Kingdom of Atlantia, a member of the Barony of Lochmere, and I also belong to the household Domus Fabius. My fighting tabard bears the colors of the Black Company, a free fighting group focusing on melee tactics. 

I have been in the SCA approximately six years. In that time I have had the opportunity to sew my own garb, experience Pennsic, build my own armor,  learn to weave, make a crossbow, and learn a little bit of medieval crafts along the way. I hope this site will be a space for documentation of future projects and also just to celebrate all the activities I participate in as a historical reenactor.
