ASPEN GOLAN

SCULPTURAL BRUSH MAKING


Workshop Description

Hone your carving skills, flex your design muscles, and explore the intersection of form and function by transforming this humble household object into sculpture. Students will fabricate wood and fiber objects that engage, elevate or subvert the brush, creating functional and conceptual manifestations of this simple tool. We will cover handle selection, wood shaping, fibers, and compound angle drilling. Students will also learn how to tie a classical handbroom with tampico fibers. Traditional whisk brooms are an excellent introduction to broomcraft as well as the perfect jumping off point for a deeper dive. Whether you are just starting out or looking for a new way to apply a lifetime of craft experience, brush making is an exciting and accessible craft. All levels welcome.
