2026 Besom Brooms

Saturday, October 31, 2026 | 12:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

Historically, the Pleasant Hill Shakers were known for their quality flat brooms, manufactured by the thousands and sold across the midwestern United States. In this workshop, we're returning to the craft tradition of broommaking that originally inspired the Shakers, making our own hand-tied brooms without special machinery or equipment.

Embracing the Halloween spirit, we'll construct besom brooms with natural wood handles and intricately woven broomcorn. These "witchy" brooms are perfect for spooky season and are as beautiful as they are functional.
