Greetings unto the populace of the fair Kingdom of Atlantia!

At the end of
this month (September 25-27), Lochmere celebrates its Baronial Birthday and
will have an Artisans Row to demonstrate various and sundry Medieval and
Renaissance arts and sciences. I have been charged with organizing this
activity and I invite you to consider participating!  

At this event,
Artisans¹ Row will be a demonstration area set aside by the fighting fields
during the day (10:30-4) for artisans to demonstrate and show off their
work. If you have any type of project in progress that you don¹t mind
explaining to the populace, please consider coming by and setting up for an
hour or two (or all day)! Artisans¹ row is a great way to educate those who
may wonder just how some things get made, done, created or otherwise brought
into existence, as well as to give people a chance to try things out.

Arts
and Science activities that have worked quite well in the past include the
following:

All and sundry textile arts (knitting, spinning, weaving,
embroidery, lacework, felting, handwork, kumihimo, etcŠ), woodworking, bead
making (lampwork) and stringing, metalworking, cooking, calligraphy and
illumination, puppet making, mask making, hair dressing, silk banner making
and painting, pottery projects, kite making, coin making,  etcŠ 

I have had
folks set up a forge and do some iron mongering, blacksmithing, and armor
making as well.

If you aren¹t sure how to turn your art into a
demonstration or hands-on activity, please feel free to contact me. I will
be demonstrating some kind of cooking item myselfŠ

Some tent space and
tables are available, but if you are thinking of joining us, please email me
or call so that I can make sure we have enough space and I can put you on
the list and schedule.

I ask any member of the populace to please consider
participating.

Thanks in advance and please do contact me !
