Hello! I'm Tia, founder and broom maker behind Husk Brooms. Broom making came into my life organically after admiring a friend's shaker-made broom. Inspired by other traditional crafts, I instantly found joy in broom making and all its various needs: handling, weaving, tension, sewing, cutting etc. Eager to create, I find solace in production, working with my hands and can assure a quality and lasting product every time.

While visiting family along the Lake Erie coast, a common activity is to spend afternoons walking the shoreline. I collect driftwood for broom handles and sculptures, while taking note of colors and textures. These sacred walks of gathering materials and inspiration are woven into my broom making process. I'm grateful to have started a business that harmonizes my various passions and honored to be able to carry on this traditional skill. Each broom is individually crafted in my Pittsburgh, PA home studio.
