Learn to make your own handcrafted Turkey Wing hand-broom at this natural fibre craft workshop in Streatham – a practical, satisfying session that results in a bespoke tool you'll actually reach for.
You'll choose from a selection of plant-based fibres, each with their own natural qualities and characteristics, and use them to design and construct your broom from scratch. The finished piece is as versatile as it is beautiful – equally at home sweeping a coffee table, adding texture to ceramics, or being used as a mark-making tool in your creative practice.
It's a hands-on, technique-led session with plenty of room to make the design your own. If you've already tried the Natural Fibre Brush Making class, this one uses a different method entirely – so there's something new to discover even if you're returning.

Please note: Public dates for this class require at least 4 guests to run. In the unlikely event that we don't reach this number, we may cancel the session; if that happens, we'll inform you and let you choose between a refund or reschedule, so please watch your email/SMS one day prior to the class.

I’m a London-based artist, maker and designer, working from my studio in Earlsfield, South West London.
I make my own tools as part of my practice, and I believe there’s a real sense of empowerment in realising you can create the tools you need with your own hands.
I’m a self-taught brush maker, and I love sharing the joy of this tactile and rewarding craft with others. In my workshops, you’ll learn how to create your own handmade brush using traditional techniques and natural materials such as broom corn, arenga and hemp—no prior experience needed.
These brushes are both practical and expressive—perfect as beautiful, eco-friendly hand brooms, or for expressive mark making (my personal favourite).
I’ve led workshops across a wide range of creative disciplines, working with people of all ages and abilities, and I aim to create a welcoming, relaxed space where everyone can enjoy the process of making.
