Special objects aren’t meant for safekeeping, only to be used and enjoyed during special occasions. They ought to be used to infuse joy and connection into the everyday, mundane tasks of life.
When joy can feel scarce, finding it in simple tasks can be the most rewarding and enriching. And when those mundane tasks become grounding or joyous or transformative, you begin to live life as ritual.
Your space - your hearth - becomes sacred.

about the artist
Since 2018, brooms have been not just a creative outlet for me, but a challenge in observation, innovation, and boundary-pushing. Having grown up in a town with a long-standing artisan market, handmade brooms were always an enigma to me. Not until I started using them myself did I begin to understand the true magic of intentional sweeping, raw materials, and using tools crafted by expert hands.
When I began to not-so-timidly explore the craft of broom-making, it was of utmost importance to me that my work brought something entirely new to the space. In a tradition that has been evolving for the past 300 years (millenia, even), you might think this would be especially difficult, but I was surprised to find that since the development of Shaker-style brooms in American broom making, not much had changed. And that’s tradition, right? So I made a decision - to intentionally embark on a path of tradition, bringing fresh methods and techniques along the way; adding depth and richness to the traditional craft while reviving it for a contemporary audience. From the very beginning my mind was inexplicably filled with new ideas for designs, experiments, and rituals. And the ideas just keep coming.
Making sacred and functionally beautiful tools for the home has brought me so much purpose. It has led me to know and work with numerous other artists and craftspeople, collaborating to combine our skills and art forms into unique, magical pieces. Sharing the craft and art of broom making through online classes and social media has shown me and countless others just how powerful an act it is to make beautiful, functional tools with your own hands.
Every broom I create is intended to inspire the wielder to reconsider what a broom can be in the home, how sweeping can help you to reclaim your space, and to experience beauty and joy in one of life’s most humble and timeless tasks.
The broom shop has since evolved into a workplace for myself and four other brilliant, soulful women - assistants and apprentices - whose aim it is to grow Hearth Craft Brooms into a business that makes beautiful, natural, handcrafted brooms for all.
