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.

Having family along Lake Erie allows me to frequent the beaches and continue growing a driftwood collection. These beach walks of gathering materials and inspiration are woven into my broom making process. Driftwood is frequently used for broom and brush handles. I'm grateful to be able to carry on this traditional skill and build a business that showcases functional craft. Each broom is handcrafted in my Pittsburgh, PA home studio.
