Broom Making

Brooms are an essential home-making item. They are used for tending our home space and rituals. A morning sweep is a meditative task that starts my day. Industrial machines are taking over crafts that were once taught and passed through the generations. Join me to make this simple home item that you will use everyday, and will likely gift to everyone you know. You will learn the basics of making small hand brooms with minimal materials and tools. All classes will provide tools and materials. Please refer to photos for style reference.

*If hired to teach a workshop we charge by the day + Moms/VAT. Please contact us for contract details.
