She comes from a background where she was taught to make her own tools\, or at the very least engage with tool makers who are experienced in their craft. She’s been making brooms since the late 90s but has been back to making brooms steadily for the last 5+ years. \n\n\n\nWhen we craft our own tools\, we can imbue them with our intention\, our purpose and our needs. A hand broom for example\, is a tool that is used in several different ways\, from cleaning up crumbs\, dust\, shavings etc. to moving energy\, smoke\, air. \n\n\n\nIn this three hour class you will learn how to craft your own simple but powerful kitchen tools (a pot scrubber\, root vegetable scrubber and a cake/baking tester)\, and 18-20” triple style hand broom. These hand brooms are big enough to be used for a hearth broom around a fireplace\, or kept in the kitchen to sweep up small messes\, or whatever you wish to use it for. \n\n\n\nYou will\, while crafting your brooms\, learn some of the history behind the designs\, and the uses of these versatile tools. You also can add charms or crystals to your brooms\, Amy will have some on hand\, but bring along your own\, and we will see if we can make them fit. By the end of the course\, you will walk away with a basic understanding of simple broom making as well as 4\, made by YOU brooms. \n\n\n\nSpace is limited to 8 people. Your investment is $125+HST \n\n\n\nYour class fee includes all the supplies needed for the course. Please note that this will be a physical activity using your upper body\, arms and core muscles and feet\, so dress in comfortable clothing (like leggings\, jeans or yoga pants)\, as well as wear soft soled shoes or be prepared to work barefoot. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpread the word!\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n Threads\n \n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky URL:https://taotat.ca/event/broom-making-at-handmade-herbology/ LOCATION:Golden Gatherings\, 3295 Lake Dore Road\, ON\, K0J 1X0\, Canada CATEGORIES:Broom Making END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20260517T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20260517T170000 DTSTAMP:20260608T213521 CREATED:20260313T131401Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260313T132602Z UID:29126-1779004800-1779037200@taotat.ca SUMMARY:Fulcrum Skillshare: Introduction to Broom Craft DESCRIPTION:In this course you will learn how to craft one of each style of handbrooms including: a Triple Whisk\, Turkey Wing\, and Hawks Tail. Additionally you will make a set of four Kitchen Tools (cake tester\, pot scrubber\, root veggie scrubber and a counter whisk). We will speak about some of the history behind the designs\, and the uses of these versatile tools. By the end of the workshop\, you will walk away 7 handmade brooms! \n\n\n\nYour 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\, hands and arms\, and upper body strength. Please dress in comfortable clothing (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 creation. \n\n\n\nAmy Lou Taylor is the owner of TAoTaT’s Mystic Tea & Brooms and The Museum of Tasseomancy. She is also a Certified Tea Sommelier\, full time Broomsquire (maker of brooms)\, horticulturist\, organic gardener\, community herbalist\, Hedgewitch\, Gardnerian HPS (Retired)\, author and artist. \n\n\n\nShe facilitates many programs about Tea and Brooms\, some of which she has been teaching for over 20 years. Amy has always been an artist who chooses to create with things found in nature\, but when her father passed in 2012\, she lost her muse. In late 2020\, after rediscovering a 20lb box of broom corn in her basement\, Amy rekindled her love and passion for creating with natural material by making brooms again. She crafts her brooms entirely by hand\, and only uses an electric drill for drilling holes in wood. \n\n\n\nwww.taotat.caIG: @taotatFB: @taotat1THREADS: @taotat \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nSpread the word!\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n Threads\n \n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky URL:https://taotat.ca/event/fulcrum-skillshare-introduction-to-broom-craft/ LOCATION:Coyote Tales Farm Studios\, 481 Mallard Lake Rd\, Bancroft\, ON CATEGORIES:Broom Making END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20260509T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20260509T170000 DTSTAMP:20260608T213521 CREATED:20260409T232701Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260409T235435Z UID:29197-1778331600-1778346000@taotat.ca SUMMARY:Flower Hand Brooms for Mum at the Centre for the Apothecary Arts Hamilton DESCRIPTION:Why buy mum a bouquet of flowers (that will be tossed in a week)\, when you and her can make an everlasting\, and beautiful Floral Hand Broom instead!

You will leave with 10-12 fully functional handmade brooms. \n\n\n\nDay One – Hand brooms (4-16” in length\, per broom) \n\n\n\nWe will start by learning some basic broom making techniques while making 4 practical\, kitchen tools – a cake tester\, a pot scrubber\, a vegetable scrubber and a small counter whisk. We will then move onto the following: a plain\, round whisk (a woven top will be added on the second day); a triple whisk; a turkey wing whisk; a hawks tail whisk; a hens wing whisk; and finally\, if time allows\, a plaited rooster tail whisk. \n\n\n\nDay Two – Hearth brooms (2-4 feet in length\, per broom) \n\n\n\nWe will begin the day by completing both the counter whisk\, with stitching\, and the round whisk\, with a woven top and stitching. In the afternoon we will make at least two types of hearth brooms on broomsticks – one stitched round and the second one stitched flat\, with or without woven caps.This same class MAY also be available for August 29 – 30\, if there is sufficient interest. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpread the word!\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n Threads\n \n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky URL:https://taotat.ca/event/hand-and-hearth-broomcrafting-at-the-cordwood-studio-group-2/ LOCATION:The Cordwood Studio\, 590 Brooke Valley Rd\, Perth\, ON\, K7H 3C6\, Canada END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250727T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250727T170000 DTSTAMP:20260608T213522 CREATED:20250707T143530Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250707T144638Z UID:28008-1753610400-1753635600@taotat.ca SUMMARY:4th Annual Flower Festival @ Mingle Hill Farm DESCRIPTION:I will be selling my wares at this event.

Well\, not exactly. \n\n\n\nIn 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.  \n\n\n\nIf 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. \n\n\n\n** 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. \n\n\n\nSpace is limited to 10 people. Your investment is $100. \n\n\n\nYour 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. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpread the word!\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n Threads\n \n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky URL:https://taotat.ca/event/spring-broom-class-at-kwartzlab/ LOCATION:Kwartzlab\, 145 Bedford Rd\, Kitchener\, ON END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250503T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250503T230000 DTSTAMP:20260608T213522 CREATED:20250410T232153Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250410T232223Z UID:27933-1746295200-1746313200@taotat.ca SUMMARY:The Witch's Veil Night Market DESCRIPTION:I will be selling my tea and brooms at one of my most favorite events! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpread the word!\n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on Threads (Opens in new window)\n Threads\n \n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky URL:https://taotat.ca/event/the-witchs-veil/ LOCATION:Seven Sisters\, 129 Dundas Street\, London\, ON\, Canada END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250503T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250503T170000 DTSTAMP:20260608T213522 CREATED:20250426T163449Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250426T163853Z UID:27960-1746266400-1746291600@taotat.ca SUMMARY:Tea & the Art of Tasseomancy -Milton Tea Fest DESCRIPTION:I am excited to be presenting The Art of Tea & Tasseomancy at the second annual Milton Tea Fest\, hosted by the Milton Public Library.
