You will learn about the history and lore of the Besom broom and how it could have been used in our roundhouses more than 2000 years ago.
Heather will guide you through the various processes including carving and whittling your own broom stick using locally foraged & sustainable wood, the use of axes, whittling tools and firepits as well as the application of special salves alleged to have protective qualities, warding off negative energy or spirits from your homes!
