The Green Man (or Woman) Collage
Led by Helene Knott
The Green Man is iconic in many ancient cultures but is most often associated with Celtic lore and mythology. He is Mother Nature's male equivalent and consort and is portrayed as a virile male whose flowing and facial hair are represented by leaves and botanical elements. Sometimes he bears antlers on his head; in some imagery, birds may nest in his bounteous foliage. For this project, you will create your own Green Man or Woman, starting with a base facial image and embellishing it with botanical elements fussy cut from nature and botanical fabric prints. Ultimately, the fabric collage will need to be finished with stitching, but in class we will focus on composing and fusing the collage, so a sewing machine is optional for this class unless you wish to stitch/quilt as you go.
