Everybody Sweeps! Introduction to Whisk Broom Making

Event:

Welcome to the wonderful world of broom-making! This class will introduce you to the ages old skill of tying whisk brooms. We will endeavor to tie at least three brooms — a whisk, a cake tester/pot scrubber, and an Appalachian style broom called the “Turkey Wing.” Along the way, we’ll celebrate the universal practice of broom-making and have fun learning a new skill that you can use to make useful objects for your self, as well as gifts for others!
