EVENTS

THE ART OF THE HAND BROOM: ENCHANTED & RITUAL BROOMS Where: Nox of Lincoln | 38 Sincil Street | Lincoln LN5 7ET Date: Saturday 24 October 2026 Time: 18:30-21:00 Skill Level: Beginners Age: 18+ (knives, razors, fire) Cost: £85pp, includes your choice of materials. Tools are provided for use during the workshop and remain the property of Bristol Broomworks. Join me in Lincoln as we gather to weave your own enchanted ritual handbroom, in this intimate 2.5-3 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, iron nails, antique keys, vintage pendant, or dried botanical (provided by me or bring your own). 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 still seems to appeal to those who seek a little magic in the everyday. Please note: broom making is a physical craft, completed in one sitting in a chair 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.
