For 129 years teachers and students at Berea College have made crafts that earned a national reputation for quality and creativity. Students come from around the world to this Madison County community to learn and work.
At Berea College, tuition is free, but students are required to work at least ten and a half hours a week at the school. In woodworking, some make furniture like stools, tables, and the skittles game. Others learn how to weave colorful blankets, quilts, and placemats.
In Broomcraft, students fashion brooms in bright, vibrant colors like orange, blue, green, and red. During the last few years, Berea College has given students more of a voice in what they create in crafts.
