12:00pm-4:00pm - Tintype Portrait Pop-up with Noyel Gallimore
From Noyel’s website: “For over half of my life I’ve been a photographer, and for even longer I’ve been a maker - capturing memories and creating whatever my hands and mind would allow. Analogue photography has always felt like the perfect combination of conceptual and tangible art forms. My favorite part about the antique process of wet plate collodion is how hands-on it is.
Delicately preparing and mixing various chemicals, practicing careful and meticulous technique, creating images with such unique and timeless qualities, and having my hands in every step of the process. Second to that is meeting so many wonderful people and seeing their response when they first see their tintype portrait appear in the fixer.”
5:00pm - Live old time music from Forty Drop Few.

4:00pm - Nigon Wyrta Galdor: The Nine Plants Spell (Hyldr Publishing) Read by Devon Rawlings
Enjoy libations and a live reading in candlelight by performer and voice actor Devon Rawlings.
” Vibrantly animistic and remarkably hypnotic, Nigon Wyrta Galdor—the so-called Nine Herbs Charm—is an Old English healing galdor that invokes nine personified plants and the pagan god Woden to defeat a serpent before exploding in a psychedelic climax.
One of the most mysterious items in the Old English corpus, and originally sang, chanted, or otherwise performed to treat an unknown malady, philologist Joseph S. Hopkins’s new translation of Nigon Wyrta Galdor provides a rare window into a living landscape from a lost time, dripping with mysticism and mystery, humming with life.”
