Large Skunk Bristle Brush with Teal Ceramic Ferrule and Driftwood Handle

This large Sumi-e style brush features full skunk bristle — known for its soft, flexible response and ability to create beautiful, flowing lines and washes. The brush’s natural variation in tone, from deep black to white, adds a striking visual texture both in form and on paper. The full bristle head holds a generous amount of media, while the longer white hairs allow for smooth, continuous lines that draw effortlessly from the brush’s full body.

The handle is made from driftwood gathered along Flathead Lake, chosen for its organic shape and balance. The ceramic ferrule has a teal-blue crackle glaze that ties the piece together, blending natural and artistic elements into one distinctive tool.
