The first time I saw a broom making demonstration I knew I wanted to become a broom maker. The gentleman demonstrating the craft was making turkey wing brooms and thankfully he was generous with the knowledge. He gave me some tools and agreed to meet with me again after I practiced some of the basics and teach me more. From there I picked up more skills from other broom makers I met in the region over the years. Now it is my turn to be generous with the knowledge and skills I have learned and practiced.
