Brooms have been around for as long as there have been floors that needed sweeping. Join Hurley artist Saga Erickson as she shares the art of broom tying, and the mystery and lore entwined with this ancient implement. Using simple tools and natural materials, she creates brooms that are as beautiful as they are useful. Don’t miss this wondrous afternoon.
