The Craftpersons’ Green is an area at events where any artisan of any skill level may set up a workspace in order for them to work on their period project(s). This is NOT your typical A&S display! Artisans are encouraged to stay with their projects and actively work on them during the event. The general populace at the event will be invited to visit and spend time watching and learning from the artisans. There are no requirements for documentation, type of project (except where limited by site restrictions), or length of time. Each project should emphasize period methods where possible and appropriate. Space is on a first-come, first-served basis.

​

This goal is to promote hands-on instruction, increase learning opportunities for all event participants, and allow artisans to geek out about their projects with like-minded folks in a relaxed and open setting. And ultimately promote and encourage the Arts and Sciences.
