Craft(s) Gallery & Mercantile is excited to partner with Berea College and the students of the Craft broom-making program. During the fall season, Craft will be featuring a unique selection of hand made brooms. We couldn’t think of a better time to showcase this traditional craft. Join us on Saturday, November 2nd from 1-6pm as we welcome some of the students from Berea College as they demonstrate their craft in the gallery. Hope you can make it!

Berea College admits only students with high academic potential and limited financial resources. Students attend Berea College on a tuition-promise scholarship, meaning students graduate with little to no college debt. Additionally, Berea College is one of 8 federally funded work colleges. All students hold a 10-15 hour position somewhere on campus. About 100 students work in our Craft department, learning the skills associated with weaving, woodwork, ceramics, and broom-making.

All the brooms on display have been made by hand by students. Your purchase helps guarantee we can continue to provide a high quality education to students who otherwise would not be able to afford college.
