Wooden Brush

Create a natural fiber brush in this beginner-friendly workshop. Your brush will be ideal for sweeping away dust, crumbs, dirt, and other light debris around the home, office, kitchen, or garden. This aesthetically pleasing brush will work well for cleaning keyboards and other delicate surfaces, brushing away clay trimmings in the studio, and clearing sawdust and wood shavings from the workshop.

Students will cut and shape a solid wood handle, refine the form through sanding, and learn how to prepare and set bristle tufts into the wooden brush block. Students will leave with one finished handmade brush ready to use at home.
