Make a Traditional Appalachian Cobwebber Broom

Do you have cobwebs on your ceiling? Dust bunnies under the bed? Come on and admit it, we all do! Learn to weave a cobwebber broom to get to those hard-to-reach places. This broom is a great way to learn how to weave a broom with a handle. You will also learn to plait a lovely woven top using broom stalks. You will start by making a short whisk broom to get the feel of that tying on a broom is like. One end of the whisk can be used as a vegetable brush or to get crumbs off the table and the other as a pot scrubber or cake tester. . Please note that broom making requires hand and shoulder strength. We will be using broom corn to make our brooms, and a variety of colorful nylon cord will be available for you to choose as your accent color.

There is a $25 materials fee payable to the instructor.
