Crafts & Cocktails

Put a new twist on your spring clean and sweep into something special! In this hands-on workshop, you’ll craft your own traditional handheld whisk broom using natural broomcorn and twine. As you twist, tie, and trim, we’ll mix up a classic Bee’s Knees cocktail - bright lemon, smooth gin, and a touch of honey for the perfect buzz.

You’ll learn the basics of broomcraft, explore its rich roots, and leave with a charming art piece and cleaning companion. Clean house, clear mind, and cheers to a fresh start!
