Then build on those foundational techniques by creating a hawk tail broom, also using pine needles. After completing these two practice brooms, participants may choose to refine their technique by making an additional pine needle mini broom or advance to creating their final project: a traditional broomcorn (sorghum) whisk broom.By the end of the workshop, participants will leave with 2-3 completed pine needle mini brooms, one finished broomcorn whisk broom, and the knowledge and confidence to continue exploring the traditional craft of broom making.Broomcorn for future projects will be available for purchase at the end of class.  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/dc4fc620-b7e7-11f1-83bf-2956ace57280-rimg-w572-h740-dcf8e8d8-gmir.jpg
