Using traditional, hand-made broomcraft, designer Stephen Burks created Broom Thing in collaboration with students from the Crafting Diversity program at historic Berea College: the first non-segregated college in the American South, operating one of the last broomcorn dying facilities in America. Proceeds go to funding the education of students in need.
