Laurel Prize 2002

In 2002 we took some photos of the people and work on display at Laurel Prize.

Aprons by Helene du Puy

Helene du Puy.

Helene's beautiful pleated German aprons.

Armour by Sir Innigo

Some of this armour was made by Lord Kitan of St Florians (apprenticed to Leofric), and some by Sir Innigo Missaglia, from Ildhafn. The arms and legs were definitely made by Sir Innigo; I had a good conversation about the articulation with him. (It's smooth as, by the way.)
