Beautiful and practical, the hand broom is both a tool and a decoration. Whether sweeping the floor or cleaning the windows, making magic or tidying up space, brooms are one of the most versatile tools around. Every culture has a history of brooms and broommaking, whether witchy or no. In this Broommaking class, we'll teach you how to make a hand broom from scratch, while learning a bit about the history of American broom craft and a little magic as well. You’ll learn the basic tools and techniques to make a traditional turkey wing broom for tidying up floors, sweeping cobwebs, or hanging on the wall for a bit of farmhouse style. No previous experience is necessary, all materials are provided. Note: Broommaking is done barefoot, and requires some strength. Artist Bio: Whitney Will Keith is a Renaissance human. A mother, psychotherapist, and astrologer, she uses multi-media art and craft to ground into the present and celebrate the beauty of our cultural and historical connections to each other and the world.
