Instructor bio
Jill Mahoney became interested in broom making while her daughter was a student at Berea. In 2019 she took a broom-making workshop at Berea taught by Chris Robbins the Head of Broom Craft at that time. In Chris’s workshop she learned how to make a whisk broom, turkey tail broom and cobweb broom. The cobweb broom is her favorite broom to make. Since then Jill has made brooms that she sells at the Madison Farmers Market.
