Meet your instructors -
Shawn Hoefer and Radha Larson have been making brooms for more than a decade. They have developed many unique styles and techniques and have been recognized for the quality and craftsmanship of their broom by not only the 4,000 people who buy their brooms each year, but also by the Monahan Partners, who sponsor the National Craft Broom Competition in Arcola, Illinois each September. Both Shawn and Lena have won the championship several times, and even more impressive, their students often enter, place and win.
