The Handmade Broom

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 located in Berea, Kentucky. This is her first book.
