The Artisan's Corner

Renaissance Costumes in North Carolina

I've always had a strong interest in period costumes, and have sewed since I was a little girl.  I've made a few full Rennaissance dresses myself - though mainly as gifts for friends and family members. 

But now I have two small children - and all the parents out there know what happens to free time after becoming a mother!  My son is just turned 4, and it's been, hmmmm, just about 4 years since I had enough time to sew anything.

My husband and I recently attended the great Rennaissance Faire that visits Raleigh each year, and he saw me eyeing the costumes - like I do at every Faire!  This time he insisted upon purchasing me a wonderful costume for my birthday - you can see it here.

For the first time, I own a Renassiance costume made by someone else, and I have nothing but praise for "The Artisan's Corner"!

I was impressed by all the detailing, and the fabrics used.  No zippers on this costume - just traditional ties and buttons. 

"The Artisan's Corner" is based near Winston-Salem, not too far from Raleigh, and can be found at a variety of festivals, such as:

NC RENAISSANCE FAIR - RALEIGH, NC
Loch Norman Highland Games - HUNTERSVILLE, NC
Triad Highland Games - HIGH POINT, NC
Bethabara CELTIC FESTIVAL - Winston-Salem, NC
Animazement - Durham, NC

"The Artisan's Corner" is just one more example of the wonderful businesses and products that can be found in North Carolina!
