In this class you will make 2 handled brooms including a smaller cobweb sweeper and full sized broom. We will cover choosing and harvesting handles, sorting material, binding, weaving and sewing your brooms in two different styles, trimming and finishing. Broom making is a surprisingly physical craft that requires consistent application of tension between your feet and hands, as well as good hand strength for the weaving and stitching. Experience with making a hand broom before will help, but is not necessary. The course is a full-day session running from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with a one-hour lunch break. Materials are included in the price of this workshop. The instructor is Raleigh Klotzet from Wild Crafted Home. Find out more at: [www.wildcraftedhome.com](http://www.wildcraftedhome.com)
