Welcome Crafters!

• ALL WORKSHOPS ARE AGES 13+ (no exceptions)
• ARRIVE EARLY! WE CANNOT START OVER FOR YOU
• ONLY THOSE CRAFTING CAN STAY FOR THE WORKSHOP 
• ALL TIMES ARE EASTERN STANDARD TIME  (receipts may say otherwise!)
• NO DOGS! (only legally tagged dog guides). 
• Below is detailed information to help you learn more about what to expect from our Broom Making and Bookbinding workshops. Please note that all crafters are required to agree and adhere to the Workshop Policies.

$50/person (plus $3.12 sales tax) is your initial payment. It is required to hold your spot for all workshops. You can pay the remaining balance for your broom at the end of your session, (remember some accessories are not included and do cost extra).

Our broom making workshops are for 13+ crafters ONLY – no exceptions. Broom making in particular involves upper body strength and developed motor skills. We provide alternative crafts and workshops geared toward younger crafters, such as Kids’ Broom Decorating Sessions, or you can purchase kits-to-go. 

 Each broom comes with the following: 

• One (1) finished hickory or unfinished ash handle, 
• One (1) bundle of natural broomcorn, 
• One (1) color splash broomcorn (to make your broom pop!), 
• One (1) pendant/charm,
• One (1) crystal with a cage 
• Plenty of twine! 

You can purchase add-ons and accessories for an additional cost. Each hour long broom making session is instructed by our knowledgeable staff. 

All workshops are BY APPOINTMENT. During Winter and Spring, we have workshops scheduled Tuesday through Saturday: broom making at 1:00pm and 2:30pm, bookbinding at 4:00pm.  

More workshops are added to the schedule for Summer and Fall, extending into the evening during October!

You can purchase a broom kit-to-go through our online store or in person. If you are visiting in person, we highly recommend you TEXT OR CALL IN ADVANCE to confirm the best time to stop in. The shop may be closed during the scheduled workshop times, and you may be asked to return after the workshop.  

The workshop is 1 hour. It usually takes 5 or 10 minutes to select your materials & accessories (unless of course you are a Libra, then it may take longer :) . It takes about 30 minutes of instruction and guidance to actually make your broom (unless of course you are a Virgo, then it may take longer). ;)  The remaining time in the workshop you can use to finish your decorations!

Please be mindful of The Witchery workshop schedule. To get a head start, feel free to peruse our online store to familiarize yourself with the accessory options before your workshop. We also encourage you to arrive to your workshop early, so that you may take more time looking through accessories. Please wait outside until you are invited into the space; we will do our best to get you in as early as possible after we're done cleaning and setting up!  

Unfortunately, no. You can only stay in the store if you registered for the workshop to make a craft - no exceptions. We only have the space and materials for those who have registered and paid their deposit. We suggest friends, family, etc. check out the many shops and restaurants on Pickering Wharf while you craft! 

If your group requires more flexibility for class size or observers/supervisors/troop leaders/parents, consider inquiring about booking a private workshop. 

 At this time, we are only offering wedding brooms as kits to go. Check out our Wedding Crafts and Group Bookings page for more information on how to get your wedding broom kit to go!   

 When assembled, the average broom sizes are: 

• Small: 21"
• Medium: 33"
• Large: 55-60"

If you are traveling home by plane, it's best to check with your airline to see if they will let you on with your broom. If not, there is a UPS store in town that has boxes specifically sized for our brooms and they have plenty of experience shipping them. Please note: the UPS Store is closed on Sundays! Please plan your booking accordingly. The Witchery does not ship brooms once they are made.  Otherwise, kits-to-go are even more travel friendly, since they aren't assembled yet!

If you are not present when the instruction portion has started, you cannot join the workshop and we cannot start over for you. Also, if we don't hear from you, we will assume you aren't coming and we may give your spot to a walk-in. 

If you miss your workshop, we can help you reschedule your appointment or schedule a time to get a kit-to-go. Missed appointments are not eligible for a refund.

You can reschedule your appointments through your appointment confirmation email. You MUST reschedule EACH AND EVERY appointment individually. If you booked 4 people, you must reschedule 4 times! We may not be able to accommodate your group if your appointments are erroneously scheduled. 

You must cancel your reservation via phone call or email within 24 hours of the workshop to get a refund. There are no refunds for late cancellations, tardiness, and "no-shows". Thank you for understanding.

Long stitch bookbinding has a soft leather cover, usually about 1.5-2mm's thick. We prefer the long stitch method because it does not involve glue or other adhesives. Your book will have refillable blank pages which are great for writing, drawing, you name it!

We created holes in your leather for you, as this involves a lot of hammering and we have neighbors above us. You'll do all of the bookbinding and embellishing!

We use white, heavyweight art/text paper. When supplies are available, medium journals have the option of "curious grey" text paper or tea-stained paper. Your pages are empty so you can use your journal however you wish!
