Small Tools for the Home - August 24, 2025
August 24, 2025
1:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Veggie Scrubbers, cake testers, pottery brushes, oh my! Let’s gather for a short class, and create small tools for your personal practice – whether that is in the kitchen, studio, or garden. Come with ideas, and we’ll brainstorm construction methods. Keep in mind; broomcorn is a natural material and shouldn’t be exposed to prolonged periods of moisture.
Please note: Broom making also requires a fair amount of upper body strength. If you have any concerns, please contact the instructor prior to class.
Tuition: $40
Materials: $10
This course is for students 16+

REBI HULME
(she/her)
Broommaker. Artisan. Friend to the bees.
Rooted among the rich soil of the Midwest, Rebi creates work that hugs the line between craft and art, bringing beauty to everyday functional items through her business Rooted Apricity. Broom making has become the perfect balance of her desire to make, her love for plants, and her passion to live as close to the earth as possible. In 2013, she graduated from Carleton College with a B.A. in Studio Art, and her brooms have made appearances at art fairs across Minnesota and North Dakota. All of her brooms are handcrafted with traditional broom making techniques, weaving patterns, warmth, and love - providing a natural alternative to the synthetic brooms often found in stores. A huge supporter of the slow living movement, Rebi feels blessed by this opportunity to share her passion and inspire other creatives.
