This Winnipeg, MB based Canadian company is really fascinating and unique. Amina Haswell, the artist and creative mind behind this business, started making brooms in 2011. Early on, she sharpened her skills in broom making (a person that engages in this folk art form is known as a broom squire) and she engaged with others across North America that practiced the same craft. Now she spends her time handcrafting beautiful brooms made from unprocessed broom corn and fibers as well as teaching classes in broom making.

You can see her stunning array of brooms on her website – she makes over 36 varieties of brooms in 42 different colours. These are not your average broom – they are really works of art that are functional too. The names of some of her brooms reflect her creativity and whimsy – Oogie Boogie (Boogie Man) Sweeper, Harlequin Sweeper, Hawks Tail Whisk Broom, Mad Hatter Sweeper or Toto Hand Whisk. Whether you are seeking a small whisk or large size broom, Prairie Breeze Folks Arts Studio has got you covered!
