She facilities many programs about Tea and Brooms, some of which she has been teaching for over 20 years. Amy has always been an artist who chooses to create with things found in nature. She was making brooms over the last 20+ years, but when her father passed in 2012, she lost her muse. In late 2020, after rediscovering a 20lb box of broom corn in her basement, Amy rekindled her love and passion for creating with natural material by making brooms again. She crafts her brooms entirely by hand, and only uses and electric drill for drilling holes in wood.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eIG: @taotat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eFB: taotat1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eTHREADS: @taotat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCancellation Policy\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease note that all our facilitators carefully prepare in advance for each event, whether it’s gathering materials, setting up special activities, or creating a memorable experience.
