Emileigh Zola has a passion for curating spaces of depth, connection, and inspiration. She is the founder of “Rhythm and Ritual”, where she empowers individuals to craft handmade brooms with mindfulness & intention. 

She has a unique flavor that blends together a touch of traditional Appalachia where her ancestors have lived for many years, a reverence for the natural world, and a zest for life. 

Emileigh’s work can be found across the US and Canada and her classes have been enjoyed by many up and down the East Coast, where she travels to teach. She is a patient and attentive teacher, really encouraging students to slow down and tap into their own unique creative expression.
