Turkey Tail Whisk Broom
Tuesday, June 17
Join Sandy VanPatten to craft your own Turkey Tail Whisk—a functional piece of art that’s as beautiful as it is practical. Using authentic broom corn and your choice of colorful nylon twine, you’ll create a broom that’s perfect for cleaning or displaying as a unique decor piece.
This hands-on class requires some arm and hand strength and stocking feet to keep the tension. Footies will be provided if needed. It is open to ages 16 and up. All materials are provided.
Introduction to Songwriting
