Craft Classes
Forged and Tied Hearth Broom

In this multi-discipline craft class students will be using traditional blacksmithing and broom making techniques to create their own hearth broom. Spend the morning forging your handles in our Blacksmith shop, and the afternoon constructing your finished brooms. Instructors Angela Eastman and Becky Juliette will guide students through each step of the process. We will break at midday so pack a lunch and snacks, and a desire to learn alongside others! Materials fee is included in tuition price. Ages 16 and up.
