The Lost Giants are designers and co-creators of giants and beasts of disguise. They devise workshops, processions, and giant happenings.
Born of a 35-year old giant-making tradition in Lostwithiel, Cornwall, their work revives and reimagines folk practices while bringing people together through acts of shared making and celebration.
Who we are
Formed in 2023 after over a decade of making together, The Lost Giants was founded by Amy and Ruth Webb (sisters not wives) as a collective of artists from diverse creative backgrounds, united by a passion for giants, procession, and the living traditions of folk.
