Broom Making
Brooms utilize the historical art forms of binding, weaving, and stitching. The essential domestic tool, brooms were a mainstay in early American homes and broom making was a lucrative part-time business for farmers and laborers. Brooms are made on reproduction winding machines, based on 19th century examples in New England. Brooms are made from broomcorn, wooden handles, and twine.
