Whisk brush workshop

Learn to make a versatile whisk brush in this hands-on workshop. Prepare tī kōuka fibres, practise European twining, and create a sturdy tool for everyday use.

Join Gemma Stratton to assemble a versatile whisk style brush, ideal for sweeping crumbs, wood shavings, or the front door step.

After preparing tī kōuka fibres, you’ll learn a European twining technique to create strong, even cordage—a valuable skill that can be applied to many other craft projects. As you work, you’ll connect with handwork methods and gain an appreciation for the materials and binding techniques. By the end, you’ll have a sturdy, handmade tool ready for instant and everyday use.
