Workshop: Craft Your Own Witch's Besom

Join us at Rowtons' Museum of the Paranormal & Spirituality for a truly enchanting hands-on workshop, where you’ll create your very own altar besom — a traditional witch’s hand broom crafted using the beautiful and intricate Turkey Wing weave technique.

This special workshop will be led by our talented resident craft witch and museum member Jo Warner, the artisan behind the magical candles, wands, spell jars, and other witchy treasures found in our museum shop. Her work blends traditional craftsmanship with creativity, intention, and a deep love of magical making.

During the workshop, she will guide you step-by-step in crafting a decorative and functional besom suitable for your altar, sacred space, or home. As you weave, you’ll not only learn the Turkey Wing technique, but also connect with the rich symbolism and tradition of the besom — a timeless emblem of protection, cleansing, and sacred space. We will also explore the traditional symbolism of various charms, herbs, and other natural ingredients that will be used in your creation.

Whether you are new to witchcraft or already have a love of magical making, this workshop offers a welcoming and inspiring space to create something truly unique with your own hands.
