Saint Luke's Artisan's Fair October 25, AS 43 (2008)
In the tradition of the Guilds of St Luke, a wide-ranging guild composed of artists, house painters and decorators, glass engravers, stained-glass workers, glaziers, potters, embroiderers, carpet weavers, sculptors, engravers, booksellers, printers and art dealers, which began in the Low Countries in the 14th Century, The Barony of Tir-y-Don is pleased to announce the St Luke's Artisans' Fair to be held on October 25th, AS 43.
The Purpose of the Fair is to show each other our skills and craft, to exhibit and demonstrate, and to discuss our passions with like minded artisans. There will be no formal judging. Artisans can reserve a table or a half-table worth of space. Bring your works, finished and in-progress, and set up a display and/or workspace (limited facilities for water and/or electricity). Also, all attendees are urged to bring tokens to give to any artisans whose work impresses them. This Fair is half-way to Kingdom A&S, and will be an excellent time to get feedback on projects that you may wish to complete and enter in that prestigious competition.
In addition to the Artisans' Fair, there will be a Laurel Challenge Tournament. All Laurels are welcome to submit a challenge to the artisans of the Kingdom, all of which will be posted to http://st-lukes.gallowglass.org/ for the perusal of those who seek to take up the challenges. Judging in these competitions will be strictly by the Laurel who issues the challenge, and will be a great opportunity for increasing knowledge and experience in these particular arts.
There is no feast planned, but an extensive dayboard is included in the price of the event. Do not plan to leave hungry.
Those who wish to practice the arts of war are welcome to attend the Inter-Baronial Fight Practice on Sunday. Heavy Weapons, Rapier, and Archery are all available for your entertainment.
Questions about the event may be directed to the staff at st_lukes_art@yahoo.com. We have nine challenges so far. The earlier you sign up for a challenge, the more time you get to work on your project. Only 190 days until the event!
