Gather in a friendly group with Lynette, The White Witch of Wiltshire, and Artist, Tamsin Loveday for this gentle, crafty workshop celebrating Beltane.
Bundle together a range of natural materials to make a mini "Witches broom" or a hand brush, bound with colourful threads and ribbon, and personalised with charms and herbs.
Beltane is the "May Day" festival, marking the start of Summer, traditionally celebrated midway between Spring Equinox and Summer Solstice. Some customs associated with Beltane, such as holding bonfires and making a "May Bush," are beautiful ways to connect at this time of year.
Lynette will lead us in a short welcoming and cleansing ritual to create a safe space and help us to set our intentions. She will talk a little about Beltane, and about the use of brooms to set the scene. Lynette will guide us in setting intentions and share information about colours and symbols of the festival.
Tamsin will support all creative aspects of the workshop and make sure that we all have everything we need for a companionable evening of crafting.
We will bundle together natural Coir, a sustainable fibre used in brush making for centuries. We will chose from a bouquet of herbs and other plant material, coloured threads, charms and ribbons to personalise our brushes and brooms.
Refreshments, materials and eventbrite fees are included in the ticket price.
You will recieve a portion of Coir, a choice of herbs and plant material, a choice of symbolic charms, threads, ribbons and herbs.
This magical workshop will be hosted in the Barefoot Bindery Studio upstairs at Fisherton Mill, Salisbury.
