Your kingdom A&S office alongside the Barony of Sun Dragon invite you all to join us at the second Meet the Masters event. Last year’s was so successful that we are doing it again! This event is essentially an Art-Con/Expo which includes an expo of artisan booths with art demos, make-and-takes, and non-stop discussion of art and sciences of all kinds – including fighting arts! There will be discussion panels throughout the day, and a performance area for all of our bards.
The Expo/Demo area – This part of the event is where artisans and groups of artisans will have booth space to demo their preferred art form. Each booth is encouraged not only to display their art but to demo and, though not required, we ask you to consider a small make and take. People will have the opportunity to walk through and ask questions regarding processes, required equipment, as well as where to acquire supplies. You are welcome to have your own booth space, but are also encouraged to partner up with other artisans who do the same or similar art forms. Artisans that make items for sale are welcome to do so at their booth. Sign up here today:
Town Square Busking- Are you a performer? Bard? Minstrel of any kind? This part is for you! You will have the opportunity to sign up to “sing for your supper”, so to speak. Event goers will be given a small bag of chookies upon signing in at gate; they will then be able to use these chookies to “pay” the buskers (performers). There will be a designated performance area where performers will have a scheduled up to 10-minute timeslot to perform (and can have more than one timeslot throughout the day). Performers will be given a cup to shake at the crowd for chookies before, during and after their performance. At the end of the day chookies will be tallied and a winner declared “Busker Extraordinaire”. Sign up here today
Discussion Panels – There will be a few panels throughout the day and we will post the titles and hosts in a later missive, after we have confirmation. Some of the potential panels might include subjects such as: making more period garb; SCA camping 101; scribal art where to begin; finishing your outfits the art of accessorizing; and the transition to Cut and Thrust.
