About this event
Join us at Marble Springs on Sunday, October 6th from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm for a very special Broom Making workshop! Students will make a primitive cobweb broom in the traditional style. This lightweight narrow broom is excellent for reaching all the places cobwebs can be found- Great for sweeping the ceiling too. These brooms are functional but make great decorative items and great gifts! In this workshop, we will learn the basic weaving techniques used to make a broom with natural broomcorn (sorghum). No experience is required for this project. Everyone will go home with at least one completed cobweb broom (most make two).
