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.

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.
