Frequently Asked Questions

broom making is "weather permitting". What happens if it rains?

If it raims we will notify you by text to let you know of any cancellations, if you still want to make a broom, stop in and gather your materials to take and make at home or in your hotel room using our online video tutorial. We will deduct the instruction fee, taking $10 off your purchase. We love that option- it's a great way to support our small business during these challenging times. However if you would rather a refund, please lets know.

CAN TWO PEOPLE MAKE ONE BROOM TOGETHER?

IF you are booking outside of October, yes! You can make one broom together. During October, however, everyone must be making their own broom. Space is limited. Thank you for understanding.

I Paid the $10 instruction fee to reserve my spot. WILL I GET THAT BACK?

If you plan on receiving instruction, you will need to pay the instruction fee of $10 plus the cost of your broom making materials. If you are on a tight budget, you can always take your broom to go and use our online video tutorial.
