Black Horsehair Brush with Thrown Ceramic Ferrule and Bamboo Handle

This brush features premium black horsehair with a tapered bristle shape and uncut, pointed tips that offer excellent spring, flex, and absorbency. The long bristle head holds a generous amount of media, making it ideal for large-scale, expressive mark-making. It’s a versatile brush for artists who enjoy working with fluid acrylics, ink, and other fluid media.

The ceramic ferrule is wheel-thrown and hand-painted with a fish design, and the driftwood handle, gathered from the shores of Flathead Lake, provides natural balance and a comfortable grip. A leather hanging strap adds both utility and visual detail.
