About The Artist Keith Bowman
Travel back in time when things moved at a much slower pace and the creation of necessary household items were made by hand one at a time, Keith Bowman, broom maker and white cooper, guides you through the creation process from conception through slow, meticulous hand movements to completion of what we now call "crafts." Keith sits in his wheel chair using tools reminiscent of an age when great care was given in the creation of even the smallest item.
He selects and measures sufficient materials to make into the items of need. As he works slowly we see works of art take form from raw materials that he carefully chooses.
Keith can be seen at several shows and fairs in the Eastern and Southeastern United States, where he is a favorite demonstrator. He also teaches bowl carving and spoon making as well as broom making at John C. Campbell Folk School in Brasstown, North Carolina. Keith also teaches in small workshops locally as well as "one on one" at his studio at his home in Hancock County Tennessee.
	There is a difference between assembly line production and work that is produced by the hands of one who loves the touch of the raw materials and it shows. He is not only an accomplished broom maker and cooper (one in a few in America today), but continues to add to his skills as he produces Brooms Spoons *Utensils
