[MR] Greetings from the A&S coordinator of Sacred Stone's Novice Tourney!

[Oddny]

Greetings unto the list! 

Please cross-post as far and wide as possible, to any parties that might be
interested. 

Here is the *hopefully* final class schedule for Sacred Stone's Novice
Tourney and Investiture this coming weekend!


If there are any time or teacher changes, I will post those as soon as I
know about them, so that folks can make plans for their event day. If this
listing doesn't come through clearly enough, please e-mail me privately, and
I'll send you a PDF file of the schedule and class descriptions. 



Schedules will be available at sign-in, along with the event schedule, maps,
and other necessary paperwork. :-) 


I want to thank everyone who volunteered to teach. I never in a million
years expected to have this many teachers, so many that we're setting up an
additional tent just for the Middle Eastern enthusiasts, and one class is
spilling over into the hall! There is a wonderful variety of stuff offered,
so I hope everyone has something they'll be interested in taking. :) 

Classes will be first come, first served, so make sure you're on time for
the ones with limits. 



*Also don't forget to check out the Novice Tourney flyer for several
competitions and displays that will be happening. It's going to be a great
weekend for A&S in our barony! Please come join the fun! :-) 

 

**I'm also looking for judges for the A&S competitions. If you will be there
and will have time, please let me know you're interested in judging. I'd
love to have you! 

 

***I'm encouraging everyone who wanders through the A&S Hall to bring with
them some sort of small token for the artisans. This can be anywhere from a
pretty lampworked bead, a coin, even chocolates (you'll make lots of friends
with chocolate!), up to beautiful hand-made little pouches or hand-cast
tokens. I would encourage you to leave a token with work that moves you, as
an homage to the art and the artisan who was generous enough to share it
with us. You don't have to be a peer to leave tokens. just a lover of A&S
and someone who can appreciate the work and dedication to their craft that
these artisans bring to us. Because this is a Novice Tourney, I also
encourage that knowledgeable visitors take the time to leave encouraging
notes or comments, to help the artisans along in their research. 


Thank you all, and I look forward to seeing you all this weekend!

In Service to the Dream, 
THL Oddny Knarrarbringa, CP
