A Craftsman Championship is awaiting challengers.  Jean Clark will 
accept the names of any brave enough to weather the requirements.
There will be two stages to this challenge.  The first:

You are heading to Yule in the Shire of Hartwood, and you are bringing a 
gift for your hosts. The form this gift takes should reflect your 
particular talents, and be accompanied by - at least - very basic 
documentation. When you present your gift to the 3 judges, you will be 
expected to explain how you created it, and defend any non period 
changes you may have have made to it..

The second:
Will be presented on site, at the event and explained by Lady Elizabeth 
Chatfeld.

Anyone can participate in either challenge but those wishing to become 
the Hartwood Craftsman Champion must participate in both.
