ENCHANTED WHISKS: CRAFTING HANDMADE BROOMS WORKSHOP

We are offering 2 workshops: Saturday, July 26th is the whisk broom workshop and Sunday, July 27th is the broom workshop! Facilitator Nam Joti Kaur Khalsa has been a weaver since 2016. While she is primarily trained in traditional Appalachian broom making, Nam Joti has also developed her own unique style over the years.

Gather 'round for a charming and hands-on journey into the world of broomcraft. In this magical workshop, you'll learn to weave your very own whisk broom by hand, using natural broomcorn, twine, and traditional techniques passed down through generations.
Whether you're drawn to the humble beauty of handmade tools, the lore of old-world crafts, or simply the delight of creating something both functional and enchanting, this class offers a little something special. Each whisk broom you make will carry the mark of your hands—and maybe a bit of magic, too.
Perfect for beginners, dabblers, and curious makers alike, this workshop invites you to slow down, weave with intention, and leave with a completed whisk broom (or two) and the skills to make more.
BRING: All materials are included. Come as you are! Bring your own lunch or a dish to pass for potluck.
FEE: $75 REGISTER HERE
