# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Make Your Own Floor Broom: a Northwind Art workshop 
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 21 Aug, 2026 at 10:00 am – Fri, 21 Aug, 2026 at 04:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Here's a rare opportunity to learn how to construct a functional floor broom that is also a piece of art! Visit https://northwindart.org/collections/courses to find out more and sign up. 

We'll start the morning with a short introduction to broom-making and its history, including a bit about broom-crafting across cultures. 

Then we'll select our fibers, and while they're in buckets soaking and softening, we'll shape our wooden handles from blanks Dan provides. While we're shaping, teaching artist Dan Hawkins (from Portland, Ore.) will lead a conversation about woodworking.  

After lunch, with the handles shaped, we'll jump into the process of adding the sweeping head using the pre-soaked sorghum. We'll finish by learning how to stitch, clamp and flatten the fiber. During that process, Dan will share insights on technique, broom size, uses and more. From this workshop, you'll walk away with at least one completed broom, along with the ability to make more of them in the future.
All materials and supplies are provided, while you're welcome to bring adornments such as dried flowers, herbs and beads.
