[Ansteorra] Steppes Warlord - Artisan Row

[Michelle Dodd]

Artisans are welcome to sell pieces of their art, but they need to remember that they will need to pay the merchant fee if they sell.
$10 for outside, $20 for in the Hall. I am sure that most artisans could easily make enough to cover the fee.This is in order to be fair to the merchants who are coming to sell their wares.

> Time is getting short and I wanted to remind all the artisans to send me your info to researve a spot for your amazing displays.  Please send me your name and what you are going to display.  I will also need to know if it is an indoor or outdoor space that you need.

> I have talked to several of you over the last few months
> about an A&S display format I am sponsoring at Steppes Warlord this
> year.  I am calling it “Artisans
> Row”.  I didn’t know at the time I named
> it that Pennsic has a similarly named event, but they are very similar in
> purpose so I don’t think the cross identity will be a problem. Individuals and
> groups may enter, though each entry type is limited to a 10 x 10 foot space in
> the hall. (Outside will naturally have more space available.)
> I am inviting artisans of all levels (beginners to Laurels)
> to display their art form in a period style working environment.  Examples would be tailor shops, cobbler
> shops, blacksmith shop, etc.  I have even
> had some ask if creating a Lady’s solar would be allowed and by all means that
> is do-able.  I am looking for an
> environment that encourages creativity and teaching.  I would like to encourage the artisans to sit
> with their work as much as possible, so they can interact with the populace
> showing them how they do their craft and helping create the feeling of walking
> through a medieval craft fair.
> The winner will be determined by a combination of populace
> vote and input from the B&B and Royalty.  Each person entering the Artisan Row area will receive a bead to bestow
> on their favorite artisan.  There will
> also be special beads for Laurels, Pelican and Knights to bestow on their
> favorites, plus, of course, other special beads for the Landed and Royalty to
> bestow.  At the end of the day these
> beads will be strung on a cord and presented as a memento to each of the
> Artisans entering.  There will be a gift
> basket to the Artisan deemed to the best display. 
> I am really hoping for a fun and informative A&S entry
> were we can all have a great time interacting with each other.   My inspiration for this was an event years
> ago with a similar format that I personally remember as the best and most fun
> A&S thing I ever did.  
> BTW most of the Artisan Row area is inside the hall with
> A/C!  Only things that need to be outside
> will be housed outside the hall.  Please
> contact me for any questions you might have, we also have a Facebook page set
> up for questions and other information. https://www.facebook.com/groups/385486931468098
