This event is now history, but we have many more wonderful programs in store for you!
Brooms” have been around ever since people began cleaning up their living spaces. More than just a tool, brooms’ association with customs, traditions, and superstitions across cultures prove the special connection they have on human history.
Brooms can take on many forms; flat, round, with handle, utilitarian, decorative, and even brooms able to take flight. Come join us at Rocky Fork to make a handled whisk broom with Emileigh Zola.
Emileigh Zola is a mother, professional broommaker, teacher, healer, and facilitator. She learned to make brooms almost a decade ago and has been sharing her love of this craft ever since. She comes from a long line of Appalachian women and brings a grounded presence to her work and her teachings. She enjoys connecting her students to the power of the present moment and creates an invitation to craft with intention and slowness.
