are you a new broomsquire trying to figure it all out, or a broomsquire that has been trying for a while but never acquired enough information to feel successful? 

would you like to know where others are buying production tools, find inspirational broomsquires, where to find virtual and in-person classes, books, broom handles, broom forums, tons of information on broomcorn dying, including pro tips on achieving deep, rich color plus tips on mixing colors to achieve antiqued looks, plus much, 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!
