[MR] St Luke's Challenge: But Not In Spain

[Michelle -TJ- King]

Greetings, all!  I wanted to let everyone know about a new challenge for St Luke's Artisan's Fair this fall.

Title: “But Not In Spain!”

Throughout the Middle Ages and Renaissance, things in Spain were, well, different!  From clothing to cuisine, from calligraphy to cottage crafts, and all points in between.   

Someone just walked up to you at an event and made a broad, sweeping generalization about some Thing in period, and you *know* that Spain is an exception to that rule.  Your challenge is to create an entry to enlighten everyone as to how that Thing was different in Spain.  Produce both the Thing, as well thorough documentation supporting why and how this Thing was different in Spain from everywhere else in Europe.

Please provide your documentation ahead of time (emailed by October 18th is preferred).

YIS,
Violante
