My interests are diverse, encompassing costuming, the bardic arts, access and inclusion, and broader A&S and service topics. Over the years, I have published on a range of sites, to suit various projects. Some key projects and resources I have created are:
My personal blog: https://thelinkspages.wordpress.com/
Over time, I intend to transfer key articles and resources from that blog, but for now, it hosts the majority of my bardic compositions and teaching handouts.
My youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@gwenverchdavid4997
Recordings of my bardic compositions and arrangements, as well as occasional teaching videos for popular songs or other topics.
My storytelling podcast, ‘Bitching About Medieval Literature’: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/bitching-literature
In 2020-2021, I created a podcast (with Amanda Martel as editor and producer) where I read stories from medieval literature, adding commentary on the themes and context along the way.
My research on accessible and inclusive events: www.sites.google.com/view/designingwelcomingevents
At the end of 2019, I ran a large-scale qualitative survey to investigate what made events welcoming or unwelcoming for diverse SCAdians. This website includes information about the survey, its results, and also resources I have created for stewards to assist in creating accessible and inclusive events. When I want to share information about this project on social media, I often do so through https://www.facebook.com/welcomingevents.
My personalised songbook, ‘The Book of Gwen’: https://thelinkspages.wordpress.com/2022/11/24/the-book-of-gwen-a-songbook/
A songbook containing my own compositions up until 2021, as well as 34 period, folk, and SCA songs which I enjoy singing and/or have often heard at bardic circles. Available for all to print and use non-commercially for SCA purposes, with appropriate acknowledgement.
My guide to 13th century clothing: https://tiny.cc/13thcgarb
A powerpoint outlining the key characteristics of 13th century clothing, the items that make up an outfit for men and women of different classes, how to adapt a generic T-tunic to look more 13th century, and a pattern for making 13th century tunics/dresses.
