Workshop Date: Who: Adults When: DATE | TIME pm (2 Hours) Pricing: $ 1 Day Workshop All Supplies Included (+ $10 due at booking) Description Step into the enchanting world of Besom Broom crafting in this hands-on workshop led by artist Robin Ziegler. The word "besom" comes from the Old English word besma, which means "bundle of twigs" or "broom". Besom brooms are traditional brooms made from a bundle of twigs tied together, and were traditionally made by a craftsman called a broomsquire. In this workshop, you will: Master the Craft: Under guided instruction, acquire the techniques and skills necessary to construct a Besom Broom from scratch, using a short curly/twisty, non-traditional wooden broom handle with a mixture of bear grass and broom corn. Personalize Your Broom: Customize your Besom Broom with your choice of decorative elements including sprigs of dried eucalyptus or broom corn seed, and your choice of nylon string, making each broom unique. Note: additional embellishments will be available for purchase during the workshop, if desired! Take Home Your Creation: Leave the workshop with a beautifully crafted Besom Broom, ready to adorn your hearth, garden, or ceremonial space, serving both functional and decorative purposes. Whether you're drawn to the craftsmanship, interested in exploring traditional crafts, or seeking a meaningful addition to your home, this class offers a blend of history, creativity, and hands-on skill-building. No prior experience is necessary. Spaces are limited, so don't wait to book this workshop & connect with a timeless tradition of craftsmanship and practical artistry!
