SUMMARY:Turkey Wing Broom Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, July 25\, 2025\n1pm-4pm \nThe turkey wing broom is 
 a traditional style of hand whisk that is equally functional and decorat
 ive. Small turkey wings are great to keep in cars\, campers\, and RVs to
  sweep crumbs\, sand\, and other debris off of seats\, dashboards\, and 
 consoles. Small and large versions have numerous uses around the home\, 
 from sweeping off porch steps\, to cleaning up work spaces\, to sweeping
  under baseboard heaters and between the fins of radiators. Of course\, 
 sweeping is not a requirement to own a handmade broom–your decorative 
 turkey wing whisk will be equally happy hanging on the wall for everyone
  to admire! \nIn this class\, you’ll learn how to bind natural or dyed
  broomcorn hurl using your choice of colorful cord. You’ll learn how t
 o ‘V-up’ to create the decorative pattern of cord seen on traditiona
 l whisk brooms\, and you’ll have the opportunity to experiment with di
 fferent colors and styles to make a broom that is uniquely yours. \nAll 
 class tools and materials are provided\, and no experience is needed. Ty
 ing a broom is a stress-reducing\, full body practice. You’ll use both
  feet to hold tension and both hands to manipulate the yarn and wrap the
  broom tightly. Broom tying is best attempted with bare or stockinged fe
 et\, so please be prepared to take your shoes off during class. \nLevel 
 – Beginner- no experience necessary. \nMinimum class size: 4\, Maximum
  10. \nYour instructor is Robert Sheckler of Redmond Philbert Handwork\,
  an enthusiastic learner\, teacher\, and crafter living and working in t
 he Portland area. Beyond the visceral joy of broom-making\, Robert is in
 terested in elevating natural materials over synthetic alternatives and 
 loves to incorporate color into his work\, making an everyday object and
  an everyday activity feel special\, vibrant\, and even fun. \nDid you k
