The 4th Exhibition: Arts and Crafts around sheep and wool and wood!

Seminarzentrum 2640 Raach am Hochgebirge Sunday 30th September 2018

------

The international Felt-Training last year was highly inspired by the Seminarzentrum Raach, so we decided this year to offer all events in one place. Additionally two of my colleagues invite you to a Call for Artwork: “sheep meets tree”. You are welcome to apply with works composed of wool and wood. Infos here: http://wollmodus.at/category/wollkunst/

Opening hours: 10 am to 6 pm

Exhibitors will be offered a rich and tasty menu plus free coffee/tea at a flatrate.

Informations for Exhibitors:

With your registration you agree at all points and details.

1. How to find us

Seminarzentrum Raach:

A-2640 Raach am Hochgebirge Telefon +43 2662 43315 Fax +43 2662 43315-22 e-mail: [email protected] website: www.szr.at

Coming from Vienna/North Raach is approached best via A2 und S6, exit , follow the signs SEMINARZENTRUM RAACH. From the south A2 to Aspang – – – Schlagl – Raach. Google Maps helps!

2. Parking

Directly in front of the house, there are like 6 short-parking spaces. You can use those for unloading, immediately afterwards the cars have to be parked at the parking lot of the Seminarzentrum or somewhere else in the small village (all in easiest walking distance). Exhibitors using a tent can unload directly at the parking lot, which is on one level with the exhibition place outside.

3. Design of your stand

Indoors: Every booth is equipped with one table measuring 1,40 x 0,70 m as well as two chairs. There is some access to electricity, you are responsible for safely laying any cables using tape.

Outdoors: If the weather is stable we have a well tended lawn, spacious and even. There are about 6 big (heavy) tables and some benches. If you come without a tent of your own, you could consider being in the beautiful outside provided there is good and dry weather, but please book your booth inside to be on the safe side. We will then decide spontaneously on Sunday morning on the possible version.

Exhibitors with tents are asked to bring tables and chairs of their own; we are not allowed to use those of the Seminarzentrum outside. There will be no electricity outdoors.

Each exhibitor is fully responsible for the safety for everyone around the booth concerning stability, electricity etc. Open fire is strictly forbidden. The booth has to be manned during the duration of the exhibition. After the end of the event the place has to be free of litter and in order. Please take care of any packaging and remnants of all kind, if not we will have to charge a cleaning fee of 50 Euro.

4. Times for installation and de-installation

You can start Sunday at 8 am and we ask you to be ready by 9.45 am. Immediately after the exhibition you can start to bundle up; please be ready by 8 pm.

5. Choice of works

The spirit of this exhibition is around sustainability, resources and consciousness, craftsmanship and regional-short distance awareness. So we ask for these qualities in the display of your products and accept only handmade work, no industrial products, to keep a high quality.

We welcome products with a connection to sheep or wool, like works of felt, knit ware, weavings, wool and accessory for all textile crafts, woollen cloth, cosmetics, food like goat/sheep-cheese, sheepskin. This year we are looking forward to presenting wood- work of all kinds with a sensible choice of wood and own manufacturing.

If you have never attended before please send some photos or the URL to your website to give us an impression.

There is space for approx. 25 to 30 exhibitors. That’s why we will choose from all applications with focus on quality and design – like all arts and crafts exhibitions do.

We reserve the right to position and arrange the booths according to themes and match of works.

6. Fees

The Seminarzentrum is a house of the Ministry of Culture and Education . It is a wonderful place, but it has to follow some accounting structures and can only be rented in combination with food-supply – which is not too bad, as there is no shopping possibility in the surroundings and it tastes very nice . Also, you have the possibility to stay overnight in neat little rooms, before and/or after the exhibition. Please notify how long you want to stay in your registration!
