St. Luke's Artisans' Fair
(2008-10-25 - Site opens at 10:00 AM & Closes at 9:00 PM)
Tir-y-Don
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 at that prestigious event.
