Title: Whispers of Wassail: a homage in wool

Materials and Techniques: Needle-felt mask

Inspiration: "Whispers of Wassail" celebrates the connection between nature, tradition, and craft. As a woollen homage to the Green Man, it reflects the ritual of wassailing—blessing the orchards for renewal—and our enduring bond with the natural world. Through felting, a process of interlocking fibres, the piece symbolizes the deep interplay between folklore, community, and the environment.
