Step into the traditional craft of broom making with this hands-on broom-making workshop at Duomo Gardens! You’ll learn the fundamentals of creating handmade brooms, or besoms, while exploring the history, culture, and folklore surrounding this timeless folk art.
Long before mass-produced household tools, handcrafted brooms were made using locally gathered natural materials and were an essential part of everyday life. Today, the handmade broom is celebrated as both a functional tool and a beautiful piece of folk art, preserving techniques and traditions passed down through generations.
Working with natural materials such as broomcorn, African grasses, agave fibers, and other plant materials, you’ll learn how to shape and assemble your own functional, decorative broom. Your instructor will guide you through the process while sharing insight into the craftsmanship and cultural traditions behind the historic practice.
Perfect for anyone into natural tools and traditional crafts looking for things to do in San Diego, this broom-making class is an easy introduction to the art. Leave with a handcrafted besom, new skills, and a deeper appreciation for this long-lasting tradition!

Duomo Gardens


Duomo Culture is my newest project which includes cultivating an urban regenerative garden space for events, community gatherings, food as medicine… and where we can “grow más love.”
With certifications from both the Titleist Performance Institute and the C.H.E.K. Institute, I was able to work with kids and adults on a much deeper level, specializing in teaching and assessing physical fitness and the improvement of fine motor skills. I continue to draw upon these teachings whether I’m working in the garden with students or clients, or teaching kids at an event with Little Shepherds Nature Lab.
I bring with me over 35 years experience facilitating and initiating events. My intention throughout these endeavors has always been to cultivate relationships and build community through music/arts and education. In my experience, music is instrumental in bringing healing and culture to communities, throughout San Diego and the world.
I’ve been active in the urban regeneration world since 2012. I offer design consultation for urban gardens, healthy food & community development programs to businesses, agencies, and people who are planning, building, and developing communities in the greater San Diego area.
I hope you join me in cultivating and growing this powerful vision of love that Duomo Culture is propelling. Let us grow alongside it.
