Weaving Classic Brooms
Dates: Saturday, August 8th & Sunday, August 9th (2 meetings)

Instructor: Sue Muldoon
Weave full sized and handheld brooms. We will make a cobwebber and full-sized sweeper with stitching. The smaller brooms will be beautiful and useful. Choices will be Hen's Wing, Turkey Wing, Hawk Tail, pot scrubbers and cake-testers. Additional embellishments will be added using Broomcorn Hurl, flat dyed reed, nylon twine and waxed linen. Tampico will be available for smaller, softer brooms. If you would like to add beads, bells, or trinkets, bring them along for additional adornment!
Tools & Supplies: All tools and supplies will be provided for this class.
*Optional: Students can bring beads, bells, or trinkets if they would like for additional adornment to their brooms!
