These wash brushes are crafted with a generous blend of natural and synthetic hair, carefully selected and hand stitched into a one-piece hand-split bamboo handle.

The short handle provides a steady grip and increases control, and it can be permanently divided into smaller brushes by breaking apart the sections. These brushes are made thick to provide a firm touch and greater water-holding capacity.

Ideal for applying media over large areas; for washing, sizing, and gluing; and well suited for ceramic art. Brush hair length is approximately 1 3/4″ long. Total length with handle measures about 5 5/8”.
