About this event
Learn the art of broom-making with weaver Sue Muldoon. We will make a whisk, cake-tester, Turkey Wing and Hen's Wing style hand brooms. Wrapping bundles together with twine using tension creates different shapes of brooms, and wrapping the handles with knurl or colored flat reed will embellish your wings. We will be using broom corn, which is from the sorghum family. Thought to have been brought to the states from Europe by Benjamin Franklin, it is grown in the U.S. and Mexico. The fibers in the broomcorn are great for picking up fine particles and dust. Hand strength is important, but you don't need to bring anything else to this beginner-level class. Extra kits will be available for purchase. Date: Sat. Dec. 12th, 9 AM - 5 PM Instructor: Sue Muldoon Class size (max.): 12 Attendance (min.
