Once again the greatest minds and most skilled artisans from all around will be congregating in the scenic surroundings of the canton Cymnewydd (Valley of the New for those Gaelicly challenged) located in the heart of Black Diamond. This year professes to gather the greatest skilled artisians from all around and will offer various tracks for those seeking knowledge, and those who wish to compare current knowledge with their peers.

For those not of savage heart we offer classes in spinning, calligraphy, illumination, brewing, beginning garb, and various other skilled crafts.
