thors Joy Reed and Leanna Renee Hieber, and attend presentations on Steampunk fashion and historical fantasy writing. A Maker Station offers make-your-own jewelry. Also offered this year is a glimpse at a Tea Duel, and how-to corset fittings. Not sure what “Steampunk” is? It’s the perfect marriage between history and future – a view of the world if Victorian aesthetics and steam power were in existence in modern day. Much like the design of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea or Sherlock Holmes, Steampunk is a Victorian view of the future. The Steampunk Fair is the zaniest event of the year – don’t miss it! Attendees are encouraged to come in costume, or purchase
one at the fair. Admission to the fair is $5 per person, $20 for museum members. Admission to the Steampunk High Tea is $30, with free admission to the Fair. Over twenty-five vendors are featured with crafts and
artwork priced from $5 to $500, with a variety of work presented, such as jewelry, lamps, leatherwork, perfume, antiques, lace and clothing. Food will be available for purchase. More information, including a list of vendors, a performance
schedule, and food and beverage offerings, is available on the Museum’s website, www. brickstoremuseum.org. Those interested in being a vendor or performer at the fair are welcome to contact the Museum at info@brickstoremuseum.org.
