Artisans Row Head's Up - Novice/Challenge of the Heart

[chargirlgenius]

I don't have an official announcement written up yet, but I'll be organizing an Artisans Row for Storvik Novice Tourney/Challenge of the Heart, on the weekend of June 20th.

For those of you who don't know, Storvik and Dun Carraig are getting together to host a joint event this year, which I think is a fantastic idea. The site is Patuxent River Park in Upper Marlboro, MD, the same place where Jeff's vigil was last summer. Hopefully it won't be so hot, this time around!

I'll be putting out the call for tents and who will be setting up once things are a bit more firmed up, but I thought I'd give a head's up to all y'all on my flist to start thinking about it. In a nutshell, Artisans Row gives you an opportunity to work on your craft throughout the day, in more of an active display instead of a competition. I liked it as a chance to sit and geek with fellow artisans in a laid back atmosphere. Artisans of ALL levels are encouraged to come out and play.

More details forthcoming. Wanna come out and play?

I'll come and sit on the grass and sew stuffs!

Sure! I am planning to go as long as my parents aren't visiting that weekend. I will probably be sewing, or knitting, or possibly making trim for clothes for Pennsic.

I remember that one. Worst equestrian event evar, although my hour with you-all was wonderful. The Atlantian cavalry needs quite a bit more fiber in its diet. :) I don't appear to be booked that weekend, although if they do have equestrian, it might look like an interkingdom snub if I show up and don't ride... but this really sounds like fun. Aaaaaand I am getting a canvas pavilion, so I could use it there!

Can I bring my lace pillow?

That might be fun. Maybe we should come back for that instead of 4th of July/dyderich's birthday. Maybe my parents will watch the kiddos.

I am thrilled to hear this! We did move the date up in some small part to escape some of the heat. Last year, I had a number of people come up to me and tell me that they were sorry, but they just had to go because they were just too hot. I agreed, and said I'd have left too except it was kind of expected that I hang around [g].

There tends to be at least one tent's worth of musicians, heavy on harps. I can arrange that they set up near Artisan's Row if you would like.

I'd love to make cheese. Would you have enough room for me to set up with a table and cooking fire source? If we have our pavilion roof done we can bring that for shade.
