Military Uniforms in a Steampunk and Diesel Punk World

Do you want to portray a military character? Looking to incorporate a military style into your steampunk or diesel punk outfit? Well if you and your friends want to wear uniforms, it should be just that; uniform! Let’s take a look at late 19th Century and early 20th Century military uniforms and see how we can give them a twist to fit into the altered-history world. This class will look at what type of military character you are looking to portray, and how to incorporate historical military dress – including combat uniforms, dress uniforms, equipment, and insignia – to help you create a solid look for yourself and your crew. With a little research and creativity, you’ll look like you just stepped out of a world that never existed! – Abbey Manalli

Bustlemaking

In this class participants will learn how to make a bustle skirt. We will learn the basic principals, brief history of the fashion, and how to make one without the ability to sew. This will be a hands on class in which the participants will walk away with a finished garment. The instructor has been making costumes with and without sewing for the past 16 years, she has taught several classes, and is a historian by trade. She often makes and wears a bustle gown as part of her profession, in addition to many other styles of the 1800’s. – Genevieve Joyner

Steampunk: More Than Just Guns and Costuming

For many of us, Steampunk is more than just costuming or music; it’s a community and a lifestyle. What does being a “lifestyler” involve? As the movement starts to go more mainstream, is it possible to live a Steampunk way of life in a modern world? This also covers how Steampunk has grown over the last few years and our community is being viewed. – The Airship Archon

Steampunk Days Out

Conventions, books and film allow us to imagine what it would have been like to live a steampunk world. Experiencing some of the exceptional surviving sites and relics of the Victorian era can bring us even closer. This panel will discuss how to research and plan trips to such pleaces and will share some of the most exciting ones. – Terry Sofian

Scientists, Inventors, and Naturalists of the Victorian Age

A follow up to the Explorers and Adventurers panel, this one will follow up with the amazing personalities and exploits of the Scientific communities of the age, and the extent that they would go to make their discoveries. We will look experiments that took them to the far ends of the globe, years of minute adjustments, or dangerous tests using themselves as guinea pigs. – Ernesto Maldonado

Nemo

No One and Everyone: Captain Nemo and the Politics

Lecture and discussion on Alan Moore’s steampunking of Captian Nemo in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen — namely how Nemo, as the voice of the empire, represents how the colonized can always escape the control of the colonizers (i.e. his science) and critique the inhumane practices of the colonizers. I will also discuss how this “dangerous” quality of the science pirate can be seen in other Captains of the steampunk variety, including Malcolm Reynolds of Joss Whedon’s Firefly. – Lisa Hager

Tesla

Steampunk an Everyday World

Discussion on how to incorporate steampunk into your everyday looks, as well as how to find inspiration to personalize your look. We will also discuss why it is important not to limit your own fantasy world, and how steampunk fashion can have many facets and subgenres. Activity will also include open forum discussion where guests can ask us whatever they want. My favorite color is pink. – Kristin Berwald and Samantha Rei
