Broom Making | Two Handed Sweeper Broom Workshop
Learn to make a Sweeper!
Sunday, October 19, from 10am-1pm
In this 3-hour workshop, students will learn to make a long handled broom with traditional broomcorn. Taught by local artist-educator AB, the class is kept simple to minimize any difficulty in creating the sweeper broom. Be ready to be challenged with your craft skill. This will be a fun and interactive broom class that will take you into the creative culture of besoms. We will prepare the handle, attach the broomcorn, shape the broom head/bristles and stitch it together with needle and thread/cord. By the end of the class you will have a functional and artistic broom to take home with you. You’ll also have the opportunity to scent the broom as well as decorate the sweeper. It is helpful if you’ve already taken Hand Broom Making Workshop, but it’s not required.
Ages 13+ years and up is recommended.
