BRUSH SHOP JEAN-MARC COULOM
Go there and contact
Grisolles was for more than a century the French and European capital of broomsticks. Today, the city has only one manufacturer: Jean-Marc Coulom, who started his activity in 1987. The craftsman, who has been trained on the job, designs all his products by hand in his brush shop - that's what we call his workshop. He buys sorghum, a light green straw, in the eastern countries - there has been no local production since the early 1990s - and buys pine handles from the Landes in the vicinity of Casteljaloux. Once these quality raw materials are in hand, Jean-Marc Coulom has patience to shell and disinfect the straw and fix it, according to an ancestral process, around the handle. A straw straw, made of Camargue reed, and a few seams of plasticized yarn ensure that the whole thing is secure and solid. The craftsman offers several models. The fanette is a reconstruction of Grisolles' emblematic brushes. The balejon is of the same type, but much more flexible. Jean-Marc Coulom also has three types of brushes, more or less aesthetic: the 6 red wires, the 5 red wires and the box that grates more.
