Bring the whole family to a kid-friendly talk (and song!) about Medieval armor by Cheryl Mitchell, Assistant Professor in Practice and Collections Specialist at the University of Texas at Arlington.
After Cheryl’s talk, stay to meet Greg Tsouprake, a metal artisan who makes his own chainmail and armor! A regular at Renaissance Fairs, Greg will be wearing one of his suits of armor and will be happy to pose for photos and answer questions about what it means to be a chivalrous knight.
This event is free, but registration in advance is required to attend the talk. No walk-ins, please!
