Join us at the beautifully bucolic Burritt On The Mountain, in Huntsville Alabama and get swept up 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, ways of adding color and at least 4 different construction styles, to make 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.
