OH HELLO

If you have this link, it’s because I gave it to you directly so that you could download this little zine. I wrote it to support the students who enroll in my broom making classes. It skips a lot - mostly things that I would say in class or demo for you if you were there. However, it is jam packed with info on tools, studio infrastructure, and process overviews. I hope you like it and that you play with the steps, the design, and the underlying structure to make it your own. If you want a physical copy - you can buy one on my personal website.

Please:

1. Reach out if you have questions or if you find any mistakes. I’d love to hear about them and fix them.

2. Please do not share this link with anyone without my permission. If you choose to print out the zine please do not make duplicates, distribute it, or sell it for $$.

3. Consider donating something to The Chairmaker’s Toolbox if you can. It’s run by a community of generous chair / broom nerds to support a community of generous chair nerds.

I am honored to share this space with you. Thank you for making this community and this project what it is. 

Yours in Brooms,
Aspen Golann
