Besom Style Broom Making


  • LA Tactile Lab 407 East Pico Boulevard Los Angeles, CA, 90015 United States (map)

Brooms have been used for centuries to tend to the spaces we occupy. Only in the last few decades have they begun to be redefined as both useful and artful objects of ritual.

In this class with Jada Patterson, we will first create a hand whisk broom to get comfortable with the broom making techniques then we will create a besom style broom, also known as a witches broom. We will explore traditional ways of working while incorporating some elements of play. Be prepared to use moderate hand and body strength in this class.

No prior experience is necessary
