Instructor: Laura Kneib Create your own functional art in this hands-on class! You’ll craft a beautiful and practical Turkey Wing Whisk Broom, perfect for tidying workspaces or adding a cheerful accent to your home this spring. Learn traditional broom tying techniques as you shape your own 15-inch whisk broom with a classic turkey wing design, approximately 9 inches wide and 1.5 inches thick. No experience necessary, all materials included. Bring a little handmade magic into your spring! Step into the art of traditional broom making with artisan H. Laura Kneib. In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the basics of the craft, hear a bit about its history, and create your own handmade broom using natural materials and time honored techniques. All tools and materials are provided. Please bring a towel to protect your lap while working with soaked broomcorn, and feel free to bring dried flowers or small decorations to make your broom your own. Broom making does require good upper body and hand strength. Laura brings decades of experience in traditional homesteading and heritage crafts and is deeply committed to preserving these skills and sharing them with others.
