Progression Display Entrant Rules
You must preregister using the form above.
You can either enter pictures or physical items in this display.
​
Since the theme is "From Beginning to Mastery" we want to see how art & artists travel through the creation process.
There are two types of progression that you can show:​
​
-
The progression of a project from start to finish ​
-
The progression of your skill over time
​
- 1 -
Project start > finish example: If you are a bookbinder, you could show the populace the stages of a Gothic book. You can show as many or as few stages as you would like.
- It may start with the creation of the book block with folded paper
-
Then you would have a step with sewing on the end bands.
-
Then pressing the book.
-
And last, covering the book with leather
- 2 -
​Show how you've improved: This would be a display of your early work(s), a few intermediary works (if possible), and your latest work. For example:
-
Scribes may be able to show pictures of their first scrolls to their current scrolls
-
Costumers may have an example/picture of their first T-Tunic.
Submit your Documentation early for an extra point to Mistress Mirabel!
