Location: Craft House

This year’s Blackstone Raid will include and Artisans Row, located in Craft House on Saturday April 23, open to the public from 11:00 – 3:00. Entrant Registration begins at 10:00.

The Artisans Row will be an open A&S forum to allow artisans the opportunity to interact with Laurels and Fleurs who have knowledge in the field of entry. Entrants will be asked to demonstrate their personal art or science in a non-competitive venue, presenting individual pieces or a body of work for comments and discussion.

Entrants will be allotted table space as available and are encouraged to remain with their display throughout the day, however, entries may be left on display for written comments.

The Blackstone Raid A&S Co-ordinater reminds entrants in the Artisans Row that the entrant is responsible for providing their own display materials and personal stewardship for the display.

The entrant may include a single article, multiple pieces or a body of work and should include bibliography or written form of documentation which would allow a novice spectator to understand what is being demonstrated. Handouts regarding your workmanship, progress or methods are a good thing, but not a requirement. Documentation should show what the item is, time period it represents, materials you used to construct the item, and when you constructed the item. Unfinished items or works in progress are acceptable.

All levels of arts and science are encouraged to participate, from novice to master. Each person is encouraged to teach and answer questions on a one on one basis, and to participate in assessment and critic of their own workmanship. Participants in Artisans Row will be categorized into two groups: AEthelmearc Region 1 and Non-Region 1. The Baron and Baroness of Blackstone Mountain may choose a Champion from the participants in this forum.

Questions regarding the Artisans Row should be directed to Master Fiachra Bonesetter, OL
