About Morganne
Hard Broom is a ritual goods line primarily offering hand-rolled natural incense cones (made from ethically-sourced aromatics, barks and moon water). All items are made by Morganne Wakefield in her Chicago-based studio and are crafted with sustainability and slowness in mind. Morganne started making incense in 2018, when she struggled to find natural incense readily available for purchase. This set her down a path of research and immersion in one of the oldest olfactory traditions.
