- **Event Description**: Broom Maker's Weekend l, with Shannon & Jesse
Come spend a weekend making something beautiful, useful, and entirely by hand (and foot).

Craft timeless tools by hand — one straw at a time.
Spend a weekend immersed in the ancient craft of broom making! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the techniques and traditions behind several classic broom styles, from rustic cobweb brooms, function kitchen brooms and decorative whisk brooms. Working with natural materials like broomcorn, you’ll master the art of binding, wrapping, and shaping as you bring each piece to life. No prior experience needed — just a love of making things by hand. Walk away with a collection of beautiful, functional brooms you made yourself, plus the skills to keep crafting at home.

Join us in our home studio for a relaxed survey of broom making styles — we're slowing things down, tying things up, and having a great time trying something new. Whether you're drawn to the craft, the community, or just the excuse to spend a weekend making things with your hands, this one's for you.
You'll leave with five handmade brooms and a whole new skill set.
What You'll Make
All brooms are made with nylon cord and broom corn, tied with your choice of string colors. Handles range from rustic to smooth — mix and match to make a coordinated set or let each one be its own thing.
Saturday
10am–noon — Turkey Wing Whisk
1–3pm — Hawk's Tail Whisk
3–5pm — Cobweb Broom
Sunday
10am–noon — Kitchen Broom (Sweeper)
1–3pm — Hen's Wing Whisk (made with soft Tampico fiber — a fan favorite)
3–6pm — Optional: make one more broom of your choice for an additional fee
What's Included
All tools, aprons, and towels are provided. A charcuterie-style lunch and beverages will be served both days. Weather permitting, we'll move some sessions out to the patio.
Want to bring your own handle? You're welcome to — 24–30" for the Cobweb Broom, 48" for the Kitchen Broom.
Lodging is not included.

We can't wait to make something with you.

Ages 14+. Weavers of all levels are welcome. Each class is limited in size to 8 participants. Bring a friend! At this time, we are not able to register for a single day, as the agenda is designed to progessively build skills.
