Broommaker. Artisan. Friend to the bees.
Rooted among the rich soil of the Midwest, Rebi creates work that hugs the line between craft and art, bringing beauty to everyday functional items. The word apricity, or the warmth of the sun in winter, has always held a symbolic place in her heart, and she uses it as a guiding force for her work. All of her brooms are handcrafted with traditional broom-making techniques, weaving patterns, warmth, and love – providing a natural alternative to the synthetic brooms often found in stores.
