Whether you're a brand-new broomsquire or you've been making brooms for a while but still feel like you're piecing everything together, you're not alone. I created this guide because, when I first started, I spent countless hours researching the information I needed to continue making brooms after class. My goal is to save you that time, answer the questions I had as a beginner, and help you spend more time making—and less time searching.
Finding reliable suppliers, quality tools, broom handles, fibers, classes, books, and trusted techniques can be one of the biggest challenges in learning this traditional craft. That's exactly why I created the Broom Maker Resource Guide.
Inside you'll find more than 90 carefully curated resources, including production tools, inspirational broom makers, online forums, virtual and in-person classes, books, broom handle suppliers, extensive information on dyeing broomcorn (including color formulas and professional tips for achieving rich, antiqued finishes), and much more.
Take a peek at our resource guide that provides answers to your questions - much cheaper than taking a class and pestering the instructor when he/she is reticent to provide more information!
