Holiday Broom Making

With David Campbell

November 14, 2021 @ 10:00 am - 4:00 pm


Price: $140

It’s that time of year again, when we busy ourselves with holiday plans and gift- giving. Hand-woven heritage brooms make wonderful gifts, whether a floor broom, hearth broom, cobweb, or whisk broom. These “sweeping beauties” are as beautiful as they are practical, for use on floors, sidewalks, decks, patios, or simply for display as unique pieces of centuries-old folk art.

Join Broom-Maker David Campbell for six hours of hands-on instruction, employing the same techniques first used over 200 years ago. Afterwards you’ll have a broom that will be a one-of-a-kind conversation piece and a fully functional sweeper – a unique gift that you made yourself!

These courses are popular so please register early. Please bring your own refreshments and lunch. All materials and tools provided. Some hand strength is required.

Audience: Adults, please. No experience required!

Supplies: All supplies included. Please bring your own lunch, water, and a face mask!
