Saturday, October 10th (10am to 2pm) Create your own cobwebber broom using natural broomcorn and choose from a rustic or polished handle in this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop. You’ll be guided through traditional broom-making techniques, learning how to bundle, stitch, and shape your broom while securing it to a sturdy wooden handle. You’ll leave with a finished cobwebber broom that’s perfect for light sweeping and hard-to-reach spaces. All supplies are included, and no previous experience is necessary. Traceable Textiles is excited to bring in guest instructor Lauren Mae! Lauren is a creatrix, teacher, witch, and seeker of the magickal in everyday life. A lifelong maker and eager learner, she carries a background in Fashion Design and Garment Construction - foundations that shaped her deep appreciation for form, texture, and the art of working by hand. Her love for basket weaving grew from a connection to the materials and the process itself. Willow quickly became her favorite material, cherished for its bend, earthy scent, and steady rhythm. Weaving and broomcraft opened the door to a slower, more grounded creative practice, one that fosters presence and a deeper connection to nature. Drawn to intention and ritual, Lauren infuses each creation with a layer of magick, allowing creativity and purpose to intertwine. Her craft extends to workshops, and community gatherings, where she fosters connection, inspiration, and joy in the act of making. Inclusion and Adaptations At Traceable Textiles, our goal is to make fibre arts accessible and enjoyable for everybody. As most of our classes involve detailed verbal instructions and the use of the student’s hands and feet, please contact us if you may need adaptations to conventional methods. This forewarning allows the instructor time to prepare any techniques or tools that will help you succeed in the class.
