The Art of the Broom: Yuletide Hearth Brooms workshop

SPECIAL EVENT: Join Bristol Broomworks for a workshop where you come away with your own yuletide hearth broom. Join Bristol Broomworks in the beautiful Anglican Chapel at Arnos Vale Cemetery for a four-hour workshop exploring the traditional craft of making short-handled hearth brooms. Designed for those with some previous experience of tying handbrooms, the workshop will cover handle preparation, tying hurl onto a short handle, and stitching a broom. Participants will create their own fully functional hearth broom to take home. Each participant can choose their handle, twine colour and a removable Yuletide adornment. These seasonal posies may include fresh evergreens, crystals, wooden ornaments, bells, star anise, cinnamon sticks and dried orange slices. The adornment can be removed after the festive season, allowing the broom to be decorated again for different seasons and occasions. Tools are provided for use during the workshop and remain the property of Bristol Broomworks.
