WHISKED AWAY WEEKEND in Asheville NC

Join us at the Silver River Center for Chair Caning located in the boho-chic River Arts district of Asheville North Carolina and be prepared to get swept up in a new fiber weaving direction: historic Broom Making!

You’ll be whisked away for a wonderful 3-day weekend learning to craft various styles of stunning handmade whisk brooms. You will learn the historic handcraft of making brooms sans machinery, as in the 18th century. Each day students will explore fun, functional & highly decorative whisk designs, plaiting techniques, ways of adding color and at least 4 different construction methods and styles, culminating in a hearty cache of whisks to take home, along with the know-how to create more on their own.

These highly useful beautiful gems of the sweeper world make fantastic gifts, as well as being very fun and satisfying to make. All levels welcome. Some hand strength required.
