Join us for an evening of broom making on the grounds of Shadyside Nursery in this 2 hour workshop hosted by Husk Brooms. Participants will learn how make a traditional style hens wing hand broom. These brushes are ideal for daily usage as they are lightweight, functional and decorative!
Since April 2010, the owners of Shadyside Nursery have worked hard to provide Pittsburgh neighborhoods with quality plants, gardening supplies and landscaping/general contracting services. The nursery has evolved into a multi-use green space that hosts workshops, community events and also houses BeeBoy hives & honey.
Broom making requires manual dexterity in both hands and feet (toes!). Participants will be asked to work barefoot as its easier to manipulate the foot bobbin that way.
