Hake brushes are the perfect implements for painting large areas with smooth, even strokes. Traditional hake brushes are made with soft goat-hair bristles stitched and glued into a long, broad wooden handle. They originally were used for sumi-e painting, but their fine, soft bristles and consistent application of wet media have made them a staple for painters and ceramic artists. These brushes hold ink, paint, glazes, and water extremely well, perfect for painting even washes, applying slips and glazes to ceramics, sizing and priming, and brushing away dust, eraser crumbs, and excess pencil. Buy a hake brush, and before you know it, it will be a go-to tool in your artistic practice. 

If you are a ceramic artist who loves to apply slips and glazes using a variety of techniques, hake brushes will soon be your favorites. The bristles are soft, thin white goat hair stitch-tied to premium wooden handles. They hold glaze and apply it smoothly with ease. They can also function as workhorse brushes, cleaning kiln shelves and molds. These brushes are excellent for painting washes and watercolor glazes and for performing subtle blending.

Award winning artist Alan Luis Ramachandran has popularized the use of hake brushes with his renowned “fast and loose” watercolor painting techniques for expressionistic and representational landscapes. These brushes are also excellent for sizing and stretching paper and for applying washes and glazes with a few strokes.
