ES - Artisan competitions

[Christine Huse]

Hola, Lady Genevieve!

I have not made anything worthy of competition, yet. All my clothes I have 
made thus far are not period, but I'm slowly working on that. Adn here my 
daughter, Diane, a 7 year old, has already entered and won with her first 
piece! :-) hehe I guess I better get in gear and make my first artisan piece 
(whatever that might be).

I hope to see you at Yule Revel! I'm coming with questions!

Hi Maria!

     I am running the DFT Artisan competition, and I'll be glad to answer 
any questions you have.  Ceinwen and Darius hit the nail on the head.  I 
chose to do a body of work competition so that we can see all aspects of 
what an artisan can do.  Take Ceinwen's example.  She is showing the best of 
everything that she has done (limited to a max of six items for our 
competition), which is a variety of things.  But you don't have to be as 
varied as that--take myself as an example.  My body of work lies within one 
area--cooking.  So when I display at a body of work competition, I display 
different areas and techniques within my specialty.
     Documentation is not always required for all competitions.  We like to 
see documentation to see that the artisan is attempting to recreate their 
art from our time period or to show that the techniques they used were used 
in our time period.  Ask Darius about finding documentation for a Dremel 
tool.... :-)  If you search hard enough, you can find documentation for 
almost anything we do.
     I hope this helps.  I look forward to seeing you at Yule Revel!

In service,

Lady Genevieve de la Gamba
