Schenectady was once world-renowned for crafting practical, artful brooms. In this workshop at the Mabee Farm, you will learn these skills for yourself. Expert broom artisan Robin Ziegler will lead us in making three simple broom projects: A Turkey Wing Broom, a cake tester and a pot scrubber. These personalized, hand-made crafts are useful around the home and make excellent gifts! We’ll provide all the materials. You provide the enthusiasm!
