Broom Squire

Nancy Binkowski

Nancy began her broom making career almost 10 years ago at Tillers International. Since then, her love for teaching and her joy of broom making have grown together and now she teaches at a growing list of festivals, private events and schools.
In May of 2024, Nancy began adding a line of wrapped handled whisk brooms, naming them Sally brooms in memory of her dear friend who had recently passed. She has also made great strides in her teaching skills not only with teaching larger numbers of students at a time but also teaching more complicated techniques to beginning students.
Nancy wants to make sure that all of her students succeed and have a fun experience in her class. It fills her heart with happiness when her students comment on how much fun they have had in her workshops. Nancy has a lighthearted approach to teaching and you will finish one of her workshops with at least one broom of your own and a sense of accomplishment. Her hope is that you will have learned a new skill and had some laughs along the way.
