Coming up on August 2nd, is Steppes Artisan.  This wonderful event can give some of you an opportunity to show off your most beautiful or complete projects, and get feed back from the best that Steppes has to offer.  This is a Body Of Work competition, but if you cannot present a "body of work", then there is an area for display only, where you are not judged as the other artisans, but you certainly can get feedback from the judges and others as to your progress in your latest efforts.
   For further information, e-mail me back, or check out the Steppes web site: www.steppes.org/artisan.  There are two meals included in the site fee, and the Archery and Rapier Champions will be decided this day also.  See you there.  Bre'nainn Mac Giolla Phadraig
