Hand Broom Making Workshop
December 5 @ 9:30 am - 12:00 pm
Appalachian Broom Making
Saturday, Dec 5, 2026 from 9:30-12pm
Let’s create a traditional Appalachian style hand broom using broom corn. Cathy Henson of Burnsville in Broom is a Yancey County native and learned under renowned Appalachian broommaker Marlow Gates. Together we’ll create the Turkey Wing style hand broom, and Cathy will demonstrate Hawk’s Tail as well. Traditional hand brooms weave together beauty and function, and they make great holiday presents!
This event is a part of Dig In’s Resilience in the Garden series.
