Learn the art of traditional broom making from the Meckley Family, seventh-generation broom makers preserving a craft that has been in their family for over a century. Using original equipment and time-honored techniques, Meckley Brooms combines functional craftsmanship with whimsical designs—bringing both history and hands-on fun to this workshop.

Thanks to the Poconos Free Art and Craft Workshops Fund, these workshops are free and open to the public for participants ages 15 and older, offering a unique opportunity for Monroe County residents to explore historic handcrafts, learn new skills, and take home their own handmade brooms. Space is limited and each participant will only be accepted for one workshop, so an advance application is required.

Cobweb Broom Workshop | 2:00–3:30 PM
