Floor Broom workshop

A full day of craft, wood, and working fiber

Spend the day learning to make a functional, hand-tied floor broom from start to finish with Dan Hawkins of Bodge.

In this 6-hour workshop, you’ll shape your own hardwood handle using draw knives and sandpaper, then build and stitch the sweeping head using soaked sorghum and hemp cord. Along the way, we’ll explore the history of broom-making, traditional construction methods, and the practical details that turn simple plant fiber into a tool built to last.

This is slow, satisfying work. Wood grain. Tension. Fiber. Hands learning what they’re capable of.

By the end of the day, you’ll leave with a completed floor broom — sturdy, beautiful, and made by you.
