This class will take place in the Tashiro Kaplan building in Pioneer Square. Please make sure you're not heading to our retail shop. This is a different location. If you google Ugly Baby Workshop Space, it will give you the address of our studio - which is in the same building - but is not the most convenient door for you to enter from.

Recent reviews of Hand Broom Weaving Workshop

  • 5/5 from Brianna Joyner, attended Sep 2026: Very fun class. Lots of instruction and help while making our brooms. Instructions were clear and concise and the instructor and host were super fun and personable. Great time and I left with two cute hand brooms!
  • 5/5 from Stacey Scott, attended Sep 2026: This class was so fun! Way less intimidating than I thought it would be. All supplies were provided for us and Teach was really clear with instructions and helpful when asking for guidance during class.
  • 5/5 from Christine Engel, attended Sep 2025: A friend and I went together and had a blast! I didn’t expect for my brooms to turn out as well as they did for a first try. Our teacher was extremely helpful, others in the class also helped each other out and the time just flew by. It does require some hand strength and you also use your feet so it’s a full body engagement.
  • 5/5 from Leslie Lowe, attended Apr 2025: Loved this class! Sarah made it easy and comortable to learn. Highly recommend!
