Is your Giant or Beast still active or has it retired?
Head has retired, fabric body displayed in the house
Description: Patchwork fabric body made from various types of print- mainly gum arabic, lino print and screen print. The Bear head was a chicken wire frame covered in paper-mache, plaster and a fake fur coat from a charity shop. We had to stand on a stool underneath the costume add some height!
Is there is a folktale connected to your Giant or Beast? Maybe not a folk tale, but the legends of the bears from The Forest of Dean
What was the first event the Giant/Beast attended?
Created for an exhibition, sadly never part of a procession!
Who Carries the Giant / Inhabits the Beast, or Is It a Shared Role? Made for one person, although would have to be carried on a tall stick
How is it stored? The body of the bear is currently hanging in my house
