Respected craftsman of our city, As part of a continued endeavour to promote commerce, on behalf of the Open Ocean Merchant Guild, I'm interested in sponsoring a series of workshops to demonstrate the various crafts that our Empire has to offer. This is a call out for any sculptors, toy makers, chandlers (candle makers), wood carvers, glass blowers, and the like, who might be interested in giving a live workshop demonstration of their crafts to the public; or rather, the skills required to master the craft. At your disposal, for your demonstration, would be the facilities of the Open Ocean Merchant Guild Event Hall, where any necessary décor can be arranged to support your workshop. For example, tables can be set up for your audience if you'd like for them to have a go at your craft while you instruct them. May such a venture bring you more business. If interested, please forward a letter to myself and we'll arrange a time and day for your workshop. Regards, Grand Lord of Narlas Ostmark Inspector-Admiral Grandmaster of the Open Ocean Merchant Guild Member of the Regalian Jingoist Lobby
To the esteemed Lord Black, I, Aurora de Escrebano, Matriarch of my family and Owner of my own tailor's shop, would like to request a workshop to be set up for myself to demonstrate the basics of my craft. I will showcase the basics of sewing and the advantages and disadvantages of certain materials. I will also show my audience my unique techniques and may even give them a chance to win one of my latest pieces. I would also like to discuss with you some interests of ours that may be similar. Yours Sincerely, ~ Aurora de Escrebano Matriarch of Commoner House de Escrebano Founder and Tailor of Aurora's Gowns and Silks
To the admirable Grand Lord Black, I humbly request a workshop slot to showcase the art of ivory sculpture. Given her expertise with the craft, I'd like to request that my grandmother be permitted to preside over the workshop instead of myself. She'll be showing a few personal pieces and demonstrating the process by which they were created. Best wishes, Jamie T. Rosendahl Count of Swynmont

To the good Grand Lord Black, I would like to request a workshop showing off the fruits of wood carving. Showcasing a few of my more impressive works over the years, and giving one ornate jewelry box away over raffle. Also, doing a short demonstration of a more simple carving. Spirit Bless, Susanna Vauclain
Dear lady Vauclain, Those who can carve wood expertly have always held my appreciation. My ancestors from the Drachenwald were quite adept and I have a number their carvings sitting in my home. Your workshop is one that I wouldn't mind listening in on myself, to learn some of the skills along with the rest of the audience.
