<<< Some artisans really don't like competitions. . . .
The other was at Pennsic (held
under in a canopy in front of the Bathhouse, because the Barn was used
for merchants). [/creaky rocking chair] >>>
I don't think rocking chairs are period... :-)
<<< OTOH, I was very pleased that around the time that I was getting
serious about my A&S work, the East had several reigns that encouraged
*exhibitions*. >>>
Ah, yes. The Classic Swimming Hole. But is that an Art or a Science
exhibition?
<<< Those I could enter without elevating my blood
pressure to dangerous levels. >>>
Well, I think the cold water lowers my blood pressure since after a
little while in that water I start turning blue...
:-)
<<< I think A&S should be fun. And clearly, there are people who love
competitions, and are motivated by them. I just think that there
should be plenty of non-competitive venues as well. >>>
I'm not sure we can totally eliminate the competitiveness, although I
like the idea of the "Laurel's Prize Tournament" format since, I
think, there can be multiple winners and you are supposed to get
useful feedback. On the other side, can you do martial arts which are
not competitive?
