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.

Customer Reviews

A simply great book!

I totally enjoy this book. I refer to the different sections with the concise directions many times. I find myself rereading sections without frustration because the material is clearly presented along with Cynthia (author) explaining each step. How fortunate we are to have a book like this one written by an obviously talented, practiced broom maker. My one regret is that I live too far away from Berea, KY to take a class. A valuable and entertaining book! Thank you!
