Broom Workshop:  Kitchen Set (morning session)

DATE: Saturday, June 20, 2026

TIME: 10 am to 1pm

REGISTRATION FEE: $65/$58 for HSV members; all materials included. Includes admission to the Village

In this workshop you will use traditional broom-making techniques to make a three-piece kitchen set:  a Turkey Wing Whisk Broom, a Pot Scrubber, and a Cake Tester.  All of the items will be made with all natural broom corn, your choice of string and either a piece of broom corn seed, or a piece of red dyed broom corn for decoration to weave into the broom.

The Turkey Wing Whisk Broom dates back well over 200 years when all you had were grasses, twigs and string to fasten a broom together. This broom will  use a low-sugar content of sorghum for broom making and a variety of strong nylon string. Your Turkey Wing broom will be great for cleaning car mats, small rugs, craft tables, work benches and more. They are very functional, make wonderful gifts and are lovely to display.
