Bringing beauty into the mundane. Gather with a small group to craft brooms together.
What we will cover:
How to choose & process broom handles
Binding a round Handled Broom
Sewing in the round (cobbwebber & hearth brooms)
Stalk Weaving
Sorting Material for binding
If we have time we will also make a small handbroom or brush
This evening workshop will cover the basics of one technique of Appalachian broom making - The Cobwebber (a broom designed for gathering and clearing spider webs inside and outside of your home). Each student will make 1 broom and if there is time we will explore a hand broom or brush with different materials. (If you wish to dive into hand brooms and brush’s I will have a short course the following evening at Knast.
There is limited space in the workshop! (a minimum of 4 is required to run the course)
The workshop will run from 6-9:30/10 pm on Thursday October 9th. There is a possibility that you end earlier around 9, but I will stay until everyone is complete.
MATERIAL COST
Materials costs are not included in the fee and will be around 150-250 dkk - paid for at the end of the workshop based on how many pieces you made/material was used. (Payment via card)
WORKSHOP COST
Our webshop is set to Euro as we run mainly in Europe =)
OTHER NOTES
Additional broom materials will be available for purchase at the workshop.
If money is a barrier please reach out and we will do our best to find what fits.
Workshop location: Kolonien, Copenhagen
