978-1-951217-54-9 (ISBN)
The humble broom lives in every home but is the workhorse of the house. There’s no reason why it shouldn't be beautiful as well. Join Cynthia Main, founder of Sunhouse Craft, as she walks you through how to make incredible, but deceptively simple, brooms, sweeps, and hand brushes. Easy enough to do at the kitchen table, and quick enough to make as gifts, you will learn the tools, techniques and materials necessary to supply your kitchen.
With beautiful step-by-step photography, and clear, insightful instructions, you’ll have everything you need to pick up a handful of broom corn and make these incredible objects for you and yours.
Cynthia Main is the founder of Sunhouse Craft, an artisan craft house in Berea, Kentucky, with a focus on brooms. She is an artist/maker whose work focuses on relating to land as part of an integral view of a more sustainable society. Cynthia’s strong background in woodworking and traditional craft surfaces in most of her projects, work that often uses traditional techniques for work that is collaborative, community building and strengthens connection to a place. Cynthia learned traditional broom making at Tillers International in 2013 and has practiced the art ever since. She weaves thousands of brooms a year at her studio.
