There is a great A&S competition happening at Steppes Warlord this year some might be interested in it to enter, but it will also be a great opputunity for people to learn about other art forms. I am pasting the information below for anyone not on the kingdom list.

I have talked to several of you over the last few months about an A&S display format I am sponsoring at Steppes Warlord thisyear.? 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, Pelicans, 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 where
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. By the way,? 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.
