Broom Making with Alex Asher & Shanon Lewis

Broom Making with Alex Asher & Shanon Lewis Wednesday, September 9 5:30–7:30 PM $50 per person Discover the art and history of traditional broom making in this fun, hands-on workshop led by Alex Asher and Shanon Lewis. Using real broomcorn, participants will learn the time-honored process of tying, winding, and shaping their own handcrafted broom before adding personal decorative touches to make it uniquely their own. Whether you're embracing the spirit of spooky season with a whimsical "witchy" design or creating a classic functional broom, this workshop offers plenty of opportunities for creativity. Participants are encouraged to bring a sturdy stick or branch to use as a handle, along with optional ribbons, charms, dried flowers, or other embellishments to personalize their finished piece. All basic materials are included. This class requires moderate hand strength, as participants will need to hold the broomcorn tightly while winding and securing it. Designed for adults, teens are welcome when accompanied by an adult. Space is limited, so be sure to register early and join us for an evening of traditional craftsmanship, creativity, and a little bit of magic.
