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 Chapman.

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