about brooms & brushes.

the broom-maker...

I have been making baskets for decades, and find that making brooms is a typical progression for those involved in basketry crafts. I started this journey taking a few classes in the fall and winter of 2022, and I am now hopelessly hooked! READ MORE HERE!

the brooms and brushes...

The brooms and brushes are structured and designed to stand up to daily usage, but better still, provide enduring memories for decades to come. The end result is a generational broom or brush. READ MORE HERE about the daily value-add these functional brooms and brushes will bring to your household, as well as broom-care recommendations. And take note - they are not only functional, but bring beautiful aesthetics to your home décor!

broom folklore/history...
