Join me in Wales for the first time as we gather to weave your own enchanted ritual handbroom, in this intimate 3 hour workshop.

You'll learn the fundamentals of heritage handcrafted brooms (a pre-industrial craft using no machinery and no electricity), choosing your fibre, twine colour, and an adornment: a crystal, pendant, or dried botanical (provided by me or bring your own), to make a broom that's entirely unique to you and how you express your practical magic.

Made to sweep both ways: dust from the floor or energy from a room. Cast with it, smudge with it, or simply clean house with it. The apotropaic tradition it's rooted in has always drawn that line thin.

Please note: broom making is a physical craft, completed in one sitting with a single length of twine. Come prepared to sit, pull, and use both hands and feet for a sustained period (bring a cushion if you like). Knives and lighters are in use.

This is currently a morning-only session. If it sells out, an afternoon session will be added.
