It’s time to be swept away! Prepare for the coming spring and the cleaning that traditionally comes with it! For centuries, brooms have filled multiple needs such as function, ritual, and decoration. In this class, you will make three brooms. You will start by making a small brush with which to clean vegetables such as mushrooms, a simple whisk, and a fancier turkey wing whisk.
