Traditional and Specialist Pottery Brushes
We offer a wide range of the best brushes for use with ceramics, balancing tradition and modernity through hake brushes and industry-leading brands like Mayco. Used to decorate, apply glaze and create beautiful designs by hand, explore our selection of available brushes:
Bamboo Brushes
Offering flexibility for ceramic and pottery artists as both a decorative and finishing brush, these tools with lightweight bamboo handles and natural bristles are perfect for a range of applications. From applying oxides and glazes to creating surface texture and burnishing leather-hard clay, bamboo brushes are versatile options for potters who value that handcrafted look.
Glaze Mop Brushes
Glaze mop brushes are specialist brushes for applying slips, glazes, and other liquid finishes to your projects. With large, round heads and soft, absorbent bristles, these brushes are great for providing even coverage of fluids across surfaces. They find homes in classrooms and studios across the world thanks to their reliable, time-saving performance.
Hake Brushes
Hake (ha-keh) brushes are traditional East Asian brushes that were traditionally used for ink work and calligraphy. Today, they are embraced in pottery for tasks like applying oxides, moistening clay, or gently cleaning the surface of a vessel without causing any damage. Featuring broad, soft bristles for superior fluid application, these are a perfect, traditional tool for pottery making at any skill level.
Mayco Brushes
Trusted by ceramic artists around the world, Mayco is favoured for its performance and reliability. Offering precision, comfort, and long-lasting quality, these brushes are great for anything from detailed linework to glaze application.
