Spring Broom Class at Kwartzlab
May 10 @ 12:30 pm – 4:00 pm
Broom making is for the birds . . . Well, not exactly.
In this class you will learn how to craft your own 12-16” Turkey Wing hand broom as well as you will also make a 12-16“ Hawks Tail hand broom. You will hand craft these beautiful, functional brooms while learning some of the history behind the designs, the materials, and the uses of these versatile and essential tools.
If there’s time, we will be able to make more than one of each style of hand broom. By the end of the afternoon, you will go home with 2 (at least one of each style), made by you, hand-brooms.
** this class is best for those who have already taken an introductory brooms class with me. If you haven’t taken a broom class before, please get in touch as the skills are a bit of a learning curve.
Space is limited to 10 people. Your investment is $100.
Your class fee includes all the supplies needed for the course. Please note that this will be a physical activity, which will use core abdominal muscles, and upper body strength, so dress in comfortable clothing (like leggings, jeans or yoga pants), as well as wear soft soled shoes or be prepared to work barefoot. Amy will have some charms and other items you can use to decorate your brooms if you would like, but if you have something specific, bring it along and we can see if it can be added into your brooms.
