A calm, intentional workshop rooted in rhythm and care.About this EventJoin longtime Firefly friend Emileigh Zola, for an afternoon of broomcraft and belonging. More than a traditional handcraft class, this workshop is a community-oriented gathering, a connective space; an invitation to slow down, settle in, and create with intention.Emileigh brings Rhythm & Ritual to everything she does and won't be able to join us at the Annual Gathering this year; so now is your chance to soak up the calm and meditative vibe that Emileigh creates, while learning an ancient skill that serves form, function and connection.Together, we’ll slow down and work with natural materials to create a traditional turkey-wing whisk broom, learning each step of the tying process along the way. Using broomcorn stems, participants will also weave a decorative handle, gaining a versatile technique that can be adapted to make other styles of whisk brooms in the future.This class is designed to be accessible to beginners and welcoming to all. The repetitive motions of broom-making offer a grounding, meditative experience, while the shared space encourages presence, intention, and creativity in community.Participants can expect to:Learn about broomcorn and its historical role in traditional broom-makingSet intentions for the time togetherTake part in an inclusive, supportive creative spaceTie a traditional turkey-wing whisk broomWeave a decorative handle using broomcorn stemsParticipants will leave with a finished whisk broom, the foundational skills to continue making brooms on their own, and a renewed sense of connection: to themselves, to community and to keeping traditional Appalachian craft alive through shared practices and hands-on learning.This class will be held indoors on Sunday, August 30th, 2026, from 1:00 pm – 5:00 pm in Marshall, NC.All Firefly Gathering workshops are hosted in the greater Asheville area, sometimes at private venues.

It is a living, ever-evolving offering, rooted in the same natural rhythms that shape us all. At its heart is Emileigh Zola, a woman of the woodlands with a deep reverence for the quiet wisdom of mountain creeks, forested hills, and the unseen threads that connect us to the Earth.Emileigh is devoted to curating spaces rooted in depth, belonging, and inspiration. She leads with her heart and is widely known for her grounded, embodied presence and her ability to make others feel welcomed, seen, and included. Her path has been non-traditional, shaped by years of study with many teachers in Earth-centered practices, and she is currently in the midst of a seven-year training at a local Earth-based healing school.Whether crafting brooms, teaching broom-making, or guiding women’s retreats, Emileigh brings patience, devotion, and a deep belief in the healing power of creating sacred, practical tools with one’s hands. Intentionally made, her brooms carry this resonance—holding space for ritual, daily use, and transformation.When she is not in her broom workshop, Emileigh can be found tending plants, making medicine, baking, sitting quietly in the woods, studying spiritual texts, learning new skills, or facilitating women’s gatherings. She lives in Marshall with her partner, two daughters, a bonus son, two dogs, a cat, and a snake.Find out more about Emileigh and her offerings at her Rhythm & Ritual website: handmadebrooms.com - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/marshall/broom-making-craft-a-turkey-wing-whisk-broom-w-emileigh-zola/100001980311851055 - **Event Categories**: workshops, dog - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fbroom-making-craft-a-turkey-wing-whisk-broom-w-emileigh-zola-tickets-1980311851055 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 50, max: 100, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Marshall - **state**: NC - **country**: United States - **location**: South Main Street - **lat**: 35.7935682 - **long**: -82.6723562 - **full address**: South Main Street, South Main Street, Marshall, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: The Firefly Gathering, Inc.
