Fabric of Life: Broom Making with Eva Gaultney

In this video Eva Gaultney will be making a hand broom. The broom is made of broomcorn and broomcorn stalks. The stalks are soaked in warm water for 30 minutes and then sliced down the middle in preparation for making the broom. The rest of the process is featured in the video. Eva has been making brooms since 2014 when it was her labor position at Berea College. She enjoyed the process of working with her hands and creating something that would be used and enjoyed by other people. She loves being a part of keeping this traditional craft alive. Fabric of Life provided Eva with an opportunity to attend the 2019 Vav Immersion and she is currently a Fabric of Life Program Provider. *** Fabric of Life's annual Barnfest event helps support our mission of preserving traditional skills.
