Description
Book onto this 2.5 hour workshop to learn how to bind plant fibres into brooms using a traditional binding technique seen in many cultures around the world. We will be spending our time binding in 2 different fibres. The first broom we will make will be in a softer, more workable fibre which is brilliant as a crumb, dusting or table brush and the second brush in a stiffer Broomcorn, which is brilliant as a hard floor or rug broom. Both fibres are water resistant also so can be used outside, washed and hung up to dry. You will go home with your 2 brooms to use for a lifetime inside and outside the home and a skill you can get creative with and go on to work with other fibres and bindings. Drinks and nibbles will be provided as well as a welcoming and creative atmosphere. Brush binding can be hard on your hands when you first begin but this doesn’t need to stop us making - if you struggle with finger dexterity, just let me know and I will ensure we take breaks and pace ourselves.
