[Ansteorra] A question for Ansteorran artisans

[gail young]

I'm a cook and I always understood "body of work" to mean a show of diversity.  I might show my pottery, with my cooking and my inkling for example.
Also, pictures in an album of work completed over time along with doc would qualify in my mind.

What would be better than a lot of beer, cookies, or food?

But remember, that there are some A&S folks who can't have a body of work.

Ex: Cooks, Bakers, Brewers, etc.

They deal with products which have a relatively short life when compared to
some who works in metal.

Good question! Should we? - sure, why not.
There are competitions in most other areas, why not this as well.
Many have said the kingdom should not select a Titled Artisan as
how can you judge one medium against another medium.
So setting up the guidelines will be important.
I think using the standard judging forms, taking the top scorers, and
and also allow the populace a vote averaged in, might be interesting.

Competition would be best, as most other championships are choosen
by competition. Body of work display, with perhaps a judging of three
items,
but if there are lots of entries, then limit it to only one item judged.
As it's a kingdom competition, maybe the judges could be expanded to
include more than the Laurel community. Do the selection at
Ansteorran Kingdom A&S competition.

Absolutely, there should be responsibilities, but also privaleges.
Marshalling champions have a duty to defend the Crown; as such the
Artisan should do an arts activity... make a spiffy gift for the kingdom
to use as regalia or gift as prize (perhaps to the next A&S champion).
Other ideas: holding classes in their medium and writing articles.
I don't necessarily think they should be responsible for organizing the
next Kingdom A&S, as event autocrating are skill sets of their own... but
they should certainly have input in some kingdom arts events.

Just curious - how do other kingdoms choose their Artisan?
And what responsibilities in those kingdoms?

Cheers, Hillary
