Greenman Clay Mask Workshop

A Greenman is a sculpture found across many cultures around the globe, throughout history. Often found outside in parks or formal gardens, hanging on walls, imbedded in religious architecture, the Greenman is a face surround by or made from leaves with branches or vines sprouting from the nose or mouth. It is primarily interpreted as a symbol of rebirth representing the cycle of growth each spring. It also has pagan roots as a rebellious artform – during the Norman conquest of England, natives of the land were forced to build Norman churches and the Greenmen that appeared on these churches were often caricatures of their conquerors.
