Join us for a hands-on workshop led by Julia Tait Dickenson of Thinair Goods, a celebrated former resident artist right here at El Zaguán!

Over the course of 3 hours, Julia will introduce you to the beautiful, time-honored craft of broom-making. You will handcraft two distinct pieces: a charming mini “keyboard” broom and a larger traditional hand whisk broom.

You’ll learn the foundational techniques of tension-wrapping and decorative stitching to construct your brooms. All materials are provided— No experience is necessary— learn from a wonderful local maker, tap into your own creativity, and go home with two beautiful, functional pieces of art!

Additionally, you will receive a private tour of the Broom Room exhibit with artist Julia Tait Dickenson. This will allow you to explore how the techniques used in the workshop are reflected in the pieces displayed in the gallery.
