The aim will be to discuss ideas surrounding that belief or narrative and to come up with a finished piece using any of the methods and materials that are available. You will have access to paper/card\, printing materials (linocut\, block\, mono or collagraph)\, paints\, drawing materials\, 3D resources (clay\, paper mache\, wire\, wool)\, paints and other bits and pieces. You will have an experienced artist to help you develop your ideas and produce your artwork. \n\n\n\nA banshee is a female spirit in Gaelic folklore who heralds the death of a family member. She is famously known for her haunting wail or shriek\, traditionally called keening\, which serves as an acoustic warning of impending doom. The legend of the banshee traces back over a millennium\, deeply intertwined with Ireland’s fairy folklore and ancient clan customs. She is generally tied to specific\, ancient Irish families (usually those with an “O” or “Mac” prefix) and appears to warn members no matter where they are in the world. The banshee’s appearance can vary widely\, often depending on regional lore or who is telling the story. She is most frequently depicted as an ugly hag with long white hair and a grey cloak or a beautiful\, mournful young woman with silken silver hair or washerwoman washing bloody clothing at a riverbank. While primarily an auditory phenomenon\, some witnesses claim to have seen her combing her hair\, weeping near a window\, or clapping her hands in grief.

You will have an experienced artist to help you develop your ideas and produce your artwork. \n\n\n\nIn Slavic folklore\, a Rusalka is a female water spirit or nymph that haunts lakes\, rivers\, and marshes. Often considered the Slavic equivalent of a mermaid or siren\, they are typically the tragic spirits of young women who died unbaptized\, by drowning\, or from a broken heart. Depending on the region\, beliefs about the Rusalka vary. In early Slavic paganism\, they were sometimes seen as benevolent nature spirits tied to fertility and agriculture. However\, later folklore typically depicts them as dangerous\, undead entities that lure unsuspecting men into the water to drown them or tickle them to death. They are frequently described as beautiful women with very long\, flowing\, often green or blond hair. In some northern Russian traditions\, however\, they are depicted as ugly\, unkempt\, and malicious creatures. “Rusalka Week”: Also known as Green Week or Trinity Week (early June)\, this was believed to be the time of year these spirits left the water to swing on birch and weeping willow branches. Swimming during this week was strictly forbidden to avoid being dragged into the deep URL:https://bythebroads.co.uk/event/folklore-workshop-the-rusalka/ CATEGORIES:Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://bythebroads.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Art2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20261006T130000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20261006T160000 DTSTAMP:20260909T091112Z CREATED:20260721T195546Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260909T091112Z UID:2321-1791291600-1791302400@bythebroads.co.uk SUMMARY:Folklore Workshop - The Wendigo DESCRIPTION:Each Tuesday afternoon workshop will centre around the myth or folklore topic of that week.

You will have an experienced artist to help you develop your ideas and produce your artwork. \n\n\n\nA Wendigo is a malevolent\, cannibalistic monster from the folklore of Indigenous Algonquian-speaking tribes in North America. It is traditionally described as a skeletal\, emaciated figure with an insatiable hunger for human flesh\, representing the ultimate dangers of starvation\, greed\, and the loss of humanity. The traditional stories of the Ojibwe\, Cree\, and other Algonquian peoples\, a wendigo can originate in two main ways: Possession: A human is possessed by a malevolent wendigo spirit. Transformation: A human becomes a wendigo as punishment for greed or after being driven by starvation to commit the taboo act of cannibalism. Far from just being a horror monster\, the wendigo served as a cultural cautionary tale. It embodied the community’s condemnation of selfishness\, excess\, and social isolation. By giving in to greed or consuming human flesh\, an individual was believed to lose their humanity entirely and transform into a monster that is never satisfied\, continually hunting to feed its relentless hunger.

The aim will be to discuss ideas surrounding that belief or narrative and to come up with a finished piece using any of the methods and materials that are available. You will have access to paper/card\, printing materials (linocut\, block\, mono or collagraph)\, paints\, drawing materials\, 3D resources (clay\, paper mache\, wire\, wool)\, paints and other bits and pieces. You will have an experienced artist to help you develop your ideas and produce your artwork. \n\n\n\nIn Lithuanian folklore\, mushrooms are intimately tied to the earth\, the underworld\, and the Devil (Velnias). Because they emerge from beneath the soil\, a realm historically associated with the underworld\, they feature prominently in traditional beliefs as creations\, or even body parts\, of the Devil himself. The most striking legend suggests that mushrooms are the long fingers of Velnias. According to myth\, the Devil pushes his fingers up from the underworld to pierce the surface and reach out to the world of the living. Despite his trickster and malevolent nature in some tales\, these fungal “fingers” were often believed to be a resource meant to feed the poor and hungry\, acting as an unexpected gift of sustenance from the underworld. Everything hiding beneath the earth’s surface belonged to Velnias. Therefore\, the act of picking them from the forest floor could be seen as a transaction or interaction with the Devil’s domain. Conversely\, because mushrooms provided essential food and security for struggling peasants\, they were also widely accepted as gifts sent directly by God to help the poor.

The aim will be to discuss ideas surrounding that belief or narrative and to come up with a finished piece using any of the methods and materials that are available. You will have access to paper/card\, printing materials (linocut\, block\, mono or collagraph)\, paints\, drawing materials\, 3D resources (clay\, paper mache\, wire\, wool)\, paints and other bits and pieces. You will have an experienced artist to help you develop your ideas and produce your artwork. \n\n\n\nIn ancient Greece\, owls symbolized wisdom\, protection\, and military victory as the sacred companions of Athena\, and were famously stamped on the “Athenian tetradrachm” coin. Conversely\, Romans viewed the nocturnal bird as a harbinger of doom\, bad luck\, and death. The Owl of Athens was synonymous with Athena. Because of the bird’s large\, serious eyes and ability to see in the dark\, the Greeks believed owls possessed a magical inner light that allowed them to see into the unseen\, making them the perfect companion for the Goddess of Wisdom. In some myths\, the screech owl was associated with the god Hades and the underworld\, specifically tied to the tale of Ascalaphus\, who was transformed into an owl for betraying Persephone. While the Romans adopted Athena as their goddess Minerva\, they largely reversed the owl’s positive folklore\, viewing it as a creature of ill omen. The hooting of an owl\, particularly if it perched on a public building or the roof of a home\, was considered an omen of imminent disaster or death. Roman superstition dictated that witches could transform into owls at night and would fly over homes to suck the blood of infants. Roman folklore also held that if a feather from an owl was placed near a sleeping person\, it would force them to speak in their sleep and reveal their deepest secrets.
