We will cover handle preparation, tying hurl onto a short handle, and stitching a broom. Students will leave with a fully functioning hearth broom.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou’ll choose your handle, twine colour, and removable adornment: a posie consisting of Yule themed elements such as fresh evergreens, crystals, wooden ornaments, bells, star anise, cinnamon sticks and orange slices. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe adornment will be tied onto the neck of the broom.

Come prepared to use both hands and stocking or bare feet from a seated position using core strength for a sustained period (bring a cushion and an apron if you like). Wear durable clothing that you don't mind getting damp and\/or dirty. Fibre will be soaked for a brief period and towels to keep laps dry will be provided. Be prepared to engage your core, hands, arms, legs and back for extended periods. Broom making can be a real work-out! Knives and lighters are in use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRefunds and cancellations\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✨ Please note: workshop bookings are non-refundable and non-cancellable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you can’t attend, you’re welcome to send someone in your place - just let me know in advance so I have their details: jamie@bristolbroomworks.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e","brand":"BRISTOL BROOMWORKS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59073631650173,"sku":null,"price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/8425\/4523\/files\/BristolBroomworksHandcraftedBroom_108.jpg?v=1765928582","url":"https:\/\/bristolbroomworks.com\/products\/workshop-the-art-of-the-broom-yuletide-hearth-brooms","provider":"BRISTOL BROOMWORKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
