SUMMARY:Folklore Workshop - Frau Perchta
DESCRIPTION:Each Tuesday afternoon workshop will centre around the myth or folklore topic of that week. 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\nFrau Perchta is an ancient\, dual-natured Alpine winter goddess and folklore figure from southern Germany and Austria. Her name likely derives from the Old High German word perat (meaning “the bright one”)\, and she serves as a powerful symbol of the dark\, unforgiving winter. Perchta embodies a dramatic duality\, often appearing as a beautiful\, glowing woman in white in some tales\, and as a terrifying\, ragged crone with an iron nose and a limp in others. Legends say she travels from house to house inspecting homes to see if chores are completed and if children are well-behaved. The Good leave her an offering of traditional porridge\, and she will reward you with a small silver coin. If she finds unfinished chores or disobedient children\, she is infamously known as the “Belly-Slitter” (or Bauchaufschneiderin). According to the gruesome myth\, she slits open the stomachs of the lazy\, removes their entrails\, and stuffs them with rocks and straw. Beyond visiting individual homes\, Frau Perchta is believed to act as a psychopomp\, guiding the souls of deceased children. She leads a spectral entourage of spirits and the souls of the dead across the winter sky—a localized version of the “Wild Hunt”. In the Alpine regions\, this entourage evolved into the Perchten\, traditional costumed figures with carved wooden masks that parade through towns to banish the winter cold\, which still survive today as a key part of regional Alpine traditions.

SUMMARY:Folklore Workshops - Hans Trapp
DESCRIPTION:Each Tuesday afternoon workshop will centre around the myth or folklore topic of that week. 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 an experienced artist to help you develop your ideas and produce your artwork. \n\n\n\nHans Trapp is a legendary figure in Alsatian and Lorraine folklore\, depicted as a Christmas “boogeyman” who accompanies St. Nicholas to punish misbehaving children. He is based on a real 15th-century German knight named Hans von Trotha (c. 1450–1503)\, known for a ruthless land dispute with a local abbey. During the holiday season\, particularly on Saint Nicholas’ Day (December 6)\, Trapp accompanies St. Nicholas in local parades (such as in Wissembourg). Over time\, von Trotha’s fearsome reputation transformed into folklore. In the traditional Christmas stories of Alsace and Lorraine\, Hans Trapp is characterized as a wicked\, greedy man who made a deal with the Devil and turned to cannibalism. Banished to the mountains\, he returns around Christmas as a terrifying scarecrow to terrify misbehaving children into behaving. While St. Nicholas rewards good children\, Hans Trapp carries a rod and a jute sack to threaten or “punish” the naughty ones.

SUMMARY:Folklore Workshop - Grýla & The Yule Cat
DESCRIPTION:Each Tuesday afternoon workshop will centre around the myth or folklore topic of that week. 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 an experienced artist to help you develop your ideas and produce your artwork. \n\n\n\nIn Icelandic folklore\, Grýla is a terrifying\, child-eating ogress and mother to the 13 Yule Lads. Her pet\, the Yule Cat (Jólakötturinn)\, is a giant\, vicious feline. Legend dictates that on Christmas Eve\, the Yule Cat prowls and devours anyone—child or adult—who hasn’t received a new piece of clothing before the holidays. Grýla has been a part of Icelandic folklore for centuries\, dating as far back as the 13th-century Sturlunga Saga. Far from being a cute holiday pet\, the Yule Cat is a massive and hungry beast. The legend likely originated as a way to encourage farmhands and children to finish the grueling autumn wool harvests before winter set in. Those who worked hard were rewarded with new clothes\, while those who slacked off were left with nothing and were eaten.

SUMMARY:Folklore Workshops - Mari Lwyd
DESCRIPTION:Each Tuesday afternoon workshop will centre around the myth or folklore topic of that week. 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 an experienced artist to help you develop your ideas and produce your artwork. \n\n\n\nThe Mari Lwyd (meaning “Grey Mare”) is a traditional Welsh winter festival custom. It involves a decorated horse’s skull mounted on a pole\, carried by a person hidden under a white sheet. The “Mari” is made from a real horse’s skull that has been decorated with colorful ribbons\, bells\, and baubles. It often has glass baubles for eyes and a movable lower jaw attached to strings so it can snap and clack at bystanders. The person carrying the skull is completely covered by a long white cloth\, usually leading a rowdy troupe of characters. If the homeowners are outsmarted or run out of rhymes\, they are traditionally expected to welcome the Mari Lwyd and its entourage inside to provide them with food\, ale\, and hospitality\, which in turn brings good luck to the household for the coming new year. While first documented in Wales around the early 19th century\, historians believe the custom has roots reaching much further back\, likely stemming from pre-Christian pagan folklore or traditional English wassailing.

SUMMARY:Folklore Workshops - The Krampus
DESCRIPTION:Each Tuesday afternoon workshop will centre around the myth or folklore topic of that week. 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 an experienced artist to help you develop your ideas and produce your artwork. \n\n\n\nThe name Krampus originates from the German word Krampen\, meaning “claw”. Visually\, he is depicted as a towering\, shaggy beast with twisted horns\, cloven hooves\, fangs\, and a long\, lolling red tongue. He traditionally carries rattling chains and a bundle of birch twigs. In regions like Austria\, Germany\, Hungary\, and Italy\, locals take part in Krampuslauf (Krampus runs)\, where people dress in terrifying\, handmade wooden masks and fur costumes\, parading through the streets to scare both children and adults. Krampus predates Christianity\, evolving from ancient\, pre-Christian pagan winter solstice rituals meant to ward off evil spirits.
