Get whisked away in a week of broom making. Practice traditional construction techniques, flex your design muscles, and explore the intersection of form and function. Learn to make traditional handheld whisk brooms including turkey wings, pot scrubbers, and hearth brooms, experimenting with weaving, sewing, handles, and other flourishes. Then, attempt a full-size floor sweeper or a double headed marriage broom. Depart with the technical confidence and creative flow to build and design your own sculptural sweepers.
