Workshop: Handcrafted Heritage Brooms - A Day of Traditional Broom & Brush Making at Arnos Vale Cemetery
Gather together this autumn in one of Bristol’s most enchanting green spaces. We will sit together and create a set of our own brooms and brushes to take home at the end of this full-day workshop!
Students will go home with at least two hand brooms, a set of kitchen brushes, a stitched whisk and a full-length handled cobwebber broom.
Where: Arnos Vale Cemetery, Bath Road, Bristol
Date: Saturday 21 September 2025
Time: 10:30-16:30
Skill Level: Beginners
Age: 18+ (or 16+ with a responsible adult)
Cost: £175
All materials and tools included
Please note: broom making is a surprisingly physical craft and each broom is mainly constructed in one sitting, with one continuous length of twine. Students should be prepared to work with shoes off (socks are fine) and seated in a chair for quite some time - an hour or more at a time. Broom craft requires strength and good dexterity in both hands and feet. Be prepared to engage your core for extended periods. Broom making can be a real work-out!
Age restricted to 18+ (knives, razorblades, and lighters in use) and 16+ with an adult.

Market: Tomorrow's Ghosts at Whitby Goth Weekend
Friday 31 October 2025
Saturday 1 November 2025
Sunday 2 November 2025
10:00-17:00
Whitby Pavilion
West Cliff, Whitby YO21 3EN
Join me and some of this country's most imaginative and magical goth and alternative artists and makers for a three day market like no other.
The brooms make their sophomore return to the Witchy Corner of this gorgeous market set into the cliffside of the Whitby Pavilion. I am creating a special collection specifically for this one - it has been a year in the planning. This is a chance for me to make the wildest, technically challenging brooms I can conjure (plus there will be the witchy classics in black and potentially other colours for all you traditionalists).
Do pop in for a little shopping (free entry and dogs on leads welcome), greet old friends and make some new ones. Enjoy a little cake and then head upstairs for the bands each evening (the music festival itself is sold out but do check the fan-to-fan resale site on the website, linked below).
