Discover the history, tradition, and craft of handmade brooms. This workshop will focus on broom making materials, tools, and a variety of techniques, including full-sized sweeping brooms, whisks, cobwebbers, and more as time allows. Students will come away from this workshop prepared with a strong foundational knowledge to continue practicing the craft at home— not to mention their own array of ready to use brooms tied in class!
