Join us for a hands-on workshop where tradition meets artistry. Alissa Kaplan, maker and founder of Ziz Land Atelier, will guide you through the craft of broom making as you create your own Turkey Wing Whisk—a beautiful and functional hand broom with deep roots in American folk tradition.

In this 3-hour class, you’ll learn:

  • A brief history and uses of hand brooms

  • Traditional Shaker/Appalachian binding and wrapping techniques

  • How to select and prepare broomcorn for a whisk

  • Step-by-step guidance to craft your own wrapped Turkey Wing Whisk to take home

Whether you’re drawn to heritage crafts, seasonal rituals, or simply love working with your hands, this workshop offers a meaningful way to connect with timeless skills and leave with something useful and beautiful.

Some hand strength is required. Material and tools will be supplied. An additional whisk kit can be purchased separately after class. 

To Purchase class please go to Gather’s website Class $150
