Broomcraft, Course Two: Wing-style Hand Brooms
This second on demand class is a two part class. The first part will include 2 videos showing the aspiring broom maker the tools used in broomcraft, and what other resources they will need including an interactive document as well. The second part will take you to the two broom making videos teaching you different techniques/styles to craft a turkey wing and hens wing hand brooms.
*This is an intermediate-level course, and assumes you have some broom or whisk making experience, or have taken my Fundamentals of Broomcraft online course, as the basic techniques are not covered in these videos*
