Bring a little old-world magic to your hands.
In this broom-making workshop, you’ll create two turkey wing hand brooms (small handheld brooms—no long handle). We’ll start with a guided, step-by-step broom made together so you learn the technique and get comfortable with the materials.
Then you’ll make a second broom with lighter guidance, giving you room to plan your design, refine your wrap, and personalize it with dried/faux florals and charms. By the end, you’ll understand how you got there—so you can repeat the process at home or experiment with other materials!
