Chris Robbins

Chris Robbins developed a love of broom making at age fourteen when he began working in the broom shop in Renfro Valley, KY. As a high school senior, he was allowed to spend half his day at home making brooms for himself. While in college, he restored an 1860s log cabin to house his broom shop. Over the years, he has made brooms for Disney World, been featured in several TV shows, and even had a piece displayed in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.  Chris managed Berea College's Broomcraft program from 2010-2023. The simplistic beauty in an everyday object is what keeps Chris making brooms after over twenty-five years in the field. As a son of an educator, teaching comes second nature to Chris and he's always happy and willing to share his craft with others.
