Black Horsehair Brush with Thrown Ceramic Ferrule and Bamboo Handle

This brush features premium black horsehair with a tapered bristle shape that provides strong spring, flex, and excellent responsiveness. The 5.5-inch bristle head holds a generous amount of media and releases it smoothly, making it ideal for fluid media applications such as ink, watercolor, and other water-based techniques. It’s well-suited for creating broad, dynamic strokes and expressive, flowing lines.

The ceramic ferrule is wheel-thrown and hand-painted by Elizabeth, paired with a bamboo handle featuring a burned-in pattern that adds visual interest and warmth. The handle is well-balanced and comfortable to hold, making it a versatile brush for artists who work with a range of fluid materials.
