FaerieCon 2018!

The other weekend I took a trip to huntsville Maryland to check out Faerie Con. I had heard of the con before, but it didn't really appeal to me, that is until this year, when the theme was The Dark Crystal.  

 

Many booths had recently released Dark Crystal merchandise, including some Fraggle Rock, Labyrinth, and Storyteller items.

While there was good amount of official products, the con itself had much more handmade items. 

These Labyrinth and Dark Crystal inspired stained glass items were made by RockCrest glass owner Susan Humphrey.

She made this stained glass Jareth during the weekend of the show and people would stop in to check on the progress. 

Minds Eye Creation, another artist booth, created this extremely detailed Aughra mask.

It wasn't all crafts though. the con had a few celebrity guests as well. Caseen Gaines, author of The Dark Crystal: The Ultimate Visual History, was there promoting his books as well as Dark Crystal Tales illustrator and author Cory Godbey, Shadows of the Dark Crystal and Song of the Dark Crystal author J.M. Lee, and Wendy and Toby Froud! All were there for the fans and graciously signed items for free.

Wendy had a few of her amazing hand made troll and fairies for sale. 

Throughout the weekend, there were numerous panels discussing the film, puppetry, and the upcoming Netflix series. 

Toby Froud talking to a packed house about The Dark Crystal .

Caseen Gaines, Cory Godbey, and J.M. Lee  also participated in a panel about writing and illustrating both your own works and someone else's creations. 

One of the panel rooms included a display of fan Amy Baker's memorabilia. 

The con was small, especially after attending recent shows like NYCC, but it had a lot of interesting things to see as well as fun activities for kids. If you're into fantasy worlds and near Baltimore, I would recommend checking the con out. I'm hoping the do a Labyrinth themed version soon!
