About the Author

Seong Myeong Su Daesaseong / Magistra Stella di Silvestri

Pronouns: She/Her

Currently living in the Barony of South Downs in the Kingdom of Meridies, my interests include calligraphy and illumination, costuming, and research with a focus on 16th C Joseon Korea. I have two personas because I want to be able to explore and teach about both Europe and Asia in the SCA.
