This 2 day workshop will cover the basics of Appalachian broom making. Each student will make 2 handled brooms (1 cobbwebber & 1 full sweep) + 3 hand brooms & brushes with different materials & designs. (If you wish to make more hand brooms/brushes you can purchase additional material!)
There is limited space in the workshop! (a minimum of 6 is required to run the course)
The workshop will run 2 days - Saturday 9:30-17 & Sunday 9:30-17. There is a possibility that we end early if we can complete all the projects!
MATERIAL COST
Materials costs are not included in the fee and will be around 800-1200 sek - paid for at the end of the workshop based on how many pieces you made/material was used.
FOOD
Lunch, Coffee, tea & Fika are included in the workshop fee and provided by the bakery of Långbro Gård.
Breakfast and Dinner are booked separately or self provided.
LANGUAGE
The 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, feeling, and hearing the sounds as well.
