Kalthoff Workshop Stockholm - Hand Broom & Brush Making Workshop - January 2024
January 17th, 2025 18:30-21:00
Brooms are an essential home-making item. They are used for tending our home space, workshops and for altars & 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.
What we will cover:
During class you will have the opportunity to learn & make 2-4 hand brooms.
We will cover a bit of the history and lineage of this tradition of broom making. Three different broom materials will be available for your to choose from. And if there is enough material you can buy more material to continue your learning at home.
A few different techniques and designs will be demonstrated that you can practice in class or take notes on for your continued making at home.
Material Cost - 60:- sek per broom made in the class to be paid at the end of the workshop.
Additional materials will be available for purchase.
Uses for Brushes & Hand Brooms:
For all surfaces of your home!
I use them on the floor, fireplace, tables, counter, workbenches, craft room, camper, tent, sauna, etc. They are both beautiful and useful!
They are also wonderful for altars and rituals. And when not in use they are a great addition of decor to your home. I have felt so much more connected to my home spaces when I started filling them with handmade pieces. I am sure you will enjoy both making and using these brushes/brooms.
You don’t need to bring anything but yourself and a curiosity to learn. This is a very approachable craft. No experience necessary.
The workshop will be held at Kalthoff Axes in Stockholm
This workshop will be taught in English. If language is a barrier we are confident you will learn even if you don’t speak or understand English. So much of the learning depends on seeing and with the help of others for translation we will make it through.
