The “practical arts”: Metal working (smiths), Woodworking (furniture), Clothing, Cooking, Building - are practiced and celebrated across this 5-day holiday praising The Artisan, with competitions and exhibitions taking place each day. It is tradition for artisans to spend time teaching their craft to a child at least once during this workweek. This is also typically the day when apprentices in various crafts are graduated to the rank of journeymen.
