Want more than static A&S displays? Wish you could meet and talk with the artisans behind the works of art? Is KASF your favorite event? Then the Crafter’s Green at Skewered might be for you!

If you practice a period art or science, we invite you to claim a stall in the Crafter’s Green and set up whatever you’re currently working on. Demonstrate your craft, interact with the populace, and share resources with other artisans! 

How to get involved: The Crafters' Green is an area of Skewered 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 idea is for artisans to demonstrate period techniques, discuss their methods, and give informal instruction if asked about their craft. General populace at the event are invited to visit and spend time chatting with, watching, and learning from the artisans. There are no requirements for documentation, type of project (except where limited by site) or length of time. Each project should emphasize period methods where possible and appropriate. Sign up in advance not required, but please contact the A&S Coordinator, Aurelio Vitrisoni, if you have specific concerns or requirements.

Reach out to Aurelio Vitrisoni, [aj.laveer@gmail.com] with any questions or to arrange a spot!
