About this Event

3-Hour Workshop

Date: Thursday, June 20, 2024

Time: 6pm-9pm

Description: Learn how to make a functional, long handled broom known as a Cobwebber with Tia Tumminello of Husk Brooms. In this 3 hour workshop, you’ll learn traditional broom making techniques required to create one long handled broom. The Cobweb style broom is great for cleaning hard to reach places: ceilings, under the couch, behind furniture etc. Such as the name entails, the cobweb broom is great for gathering hair and small debris like cobwebs and pet areas. We’ll discuss broom care for longevity and each handle will be outfitted with a hanging loop for storage.

Driftwood handles will be carefully selected by Husk Brooms and be provided for participants' use for the class.

This workshop is beginner friendly. Please keep in mind broom making requires manual dexterity in both hands and feet (toes especially!) Students will be encouraged to work barefoot or wear thin socks to keep control of the foot bobbin required for broom making. Participants should feel comfortable using a utility knife and lighter.

Tuition: $55 + $30 materials fee

Materials: All materials will be provided.

Location: Contemporary Craft (5645 Butler St., Pittsburgh, PA 15201)
