In honor of the coming spring, this class will focus on fairy tales in which flowers and plants play a pivotal role. By delving into a selection of tales from different cultures, tellers, and traditions, the class will center on the way authors describe natural elements and weave their meanings, both symbolic and folkloric, into the stories. Truly this set of tales would not be as powerful were it not for such a cast of varied supporting characters from the natural world. This class offers a new appreciation for every petal, every leaf, and every stem, captured in both words and images. Note: those who took the Fairy Tales 101 class in January may find this to be a fun and engaging follow-up class.

Two sliding scale options for tickets.
