A five-week journey into felting & folklore

GREEN MAN ONLY

October 2 – October 23 · 3 weeks

Join for the three-week Green Man journey. You'll learn to sculpt a large figure over a wire armature and bring him to life with felted moss, foliage, fungi and other forest details.

JOIN THE GREEN MAN

Beginner’s Welcome!

The Green Man is a celebration of the forest, folklore and the art of figurative felting. Over the course of the class, I'll guide you through the process of creating your own Green Man figure, sharing techniques for working with wool, silk, natural fibres and found materials to build character, texture and a sense of the forest floor. We will also be creating wet-felted ferns and toadstools to adorn your piece.

If you join the full class, you will learn how I hand-sew my faeries using natural fibres—dyeing wool locks for hair, embroidering faces, creating tattered wings, and felting or sewing clothing from salvaged antique fabrics.

Materials are not included in the course cost. A resource list will be emailed upon registration, detailing where to find materials in Canada, the US, Australia, and the UK.

Course Structure & Schedule

New lessons will be available every Friday, with an estimated 3–6 hours of recommended work per week. You can move through the lessons at your own pace, as you'll have permanent access to the course. Weekly Zoom meetings will take place on Sundays, where we'll review progress, share work, and I’ll answer questions.

Weeks 1–2 — Moss Faerie

We'll begin by creating a hand-sewn moss faerie using natural fibres, salvaged fabrics and wool locks. You'll be guided through each stage, from constructing the body and creating the face to making the wings, hair and clothing.

Weeks 3–5 — The Green Man

In week three we turn our attention to the Green Man, beginning with a wire armature and gradually building and sculpting the figure. We'll add moss, foliage, fungi and other woodland details, including wet-felted ferns and toadstools, to create a richly textured forest figure.

**The Green Man class may not be used to recreate work to sell commercially. My design for the Faeries may not be sold commercially either. Doll making is a wonderful art form and this workshop is intended to help you build skills and learn techniques that are versatile and can be applied in all sorts of ways in your own doll making and felting.
