Join us to learn a heritage craft that links us to a 200 year tradition of broom making at Pleasant Hill.  In this workshop you will begin by making smaller brushes and progress to creating a Turkey Wing (a hand-tied variation of a traditional flat broom). Learn to wrap, tie and finish hand-made brooms just like the Shakers.

All necessary materials are provided. No experience necessary and all levels are encouraged to join.

Cost:

Annual Passholder: $45

Don't miss our virtual program "Objects & Stories: A Shaker Desk" this Saturday from 1-2:00 p.m. via Zoom. Every object has a story to tell, and by uncovering these stories, we can piece together the daily lives of individuals here at Pleasant Hill. l8r.it/EFAI pic.twitter.com/DeF8D6iwgx

Volunteerism is something we hold dear at #ShakerVillageKY. Head to our Facebook page to see how our team volunteers and how you can get involved. We think it's a great way to honor Dr. King on #MLK Day. l8r.it/emqx pic.twitter.com/WKBfNT1dEH

A new exhibit is coming to #ShakerVillageKY & we wanted to take you behind-the-scenes as it's developed. Thanks to a grant from @US_IMLS we're working on "Local Economies, Global Impacts" that examines (you guessed it) economics. l8r.it/lzDg #IMLSGrant pic.twitter.com/16yOVm0bJZ
