I'm trying to find someone who can give me info on the technique of making
brushes with bamboo handles. (More so than going to a Fly fishing shop and
buying deer tails).

Actually flying fishing shops have one ingredient you need, the silicon for
making dry flies. This should go over your wrapping to keep it from
deteriorating.

and deer tails work great!

Connie, Sorry I don't know this fellow, but, my studio partner Peter makes his own brushes and for me as well. For anyone who has not used a handmade brush, they are missing a sublime experience...They are wonderful

Friends and I have purchased several handmade Elk mane brushes from our own
"Bamboo Karen" Sullivan of clayart. They are also quite beautiful with bamboo
handles and really hold a lot of glaze-a pleasure to work with. The handles
are not as ornate as Keith's which are quite beautiful in details,Karen I
think enjoys selecting the character of each piece of bamboo and letting that
give the brushes presence. I found Karen's much to my liking and budget. She
posted on clayart years ago when she had an ebay auction.
In the Spring this year I was very fortunate to attend a Steven Howell
workshop-realllly wonderful another great winner of a workshop-can not believe how
much he taught and shared in two days .Although he's done about every type
of pottery he currently does terra cotta with a majolica like surface . He
showed us how he makes his Styrofoam molds-and other molds and how to make all
kinds of forms, shared recipes, stories-and how to make a quick deer tail
brush- we quickly coerced a new studio member who luckily had attended as well
into sharing some of her beautiful black bamboo-got glue all over ourselves but
we made some really nice smaller brushes. I'm extremely pleased with a small
liner brush I made-my brushes from Bamboo Karen leave a bigger stroke-and I
was lacking one that would hold glaze and leave a thin line.
A cheer for Steven Howell, Bamboo Karen and for learning to make your own!

If you get to Jingdezhen, China the place for handmade brushes is
Shen Yu Hua's store. The brushes there are all handmade and cheap
compared to prices we pay. I bought about 50 dollars worth and keep
the unused ones in a large shoe box with moth balls. I have more than
a lifetime supply. Since Jingdezhen is a ceramic city they know how
to make brushes with long hair that are good for glazes. There are
some rather unique types. The water replenishing brush that is sort
of a hair mop that is used to really wet down bone dry green
ware,like you'd never believe would work, so that repairs can be
made. Then there is the "chicken foot" brush that curves off from a
very fat base to a sharp point at right angle and is used for the
cobalt blue decoration. The artist holds it so that she can squeeze
the fat part to send stain down toward the point. There are little
brushes and big brushes and works of art with horn handles, etc.
When I was in Jingdezhen the first time Madam Shen's father was still
active, but I think that she and her husband are now running the
store. They also demonstrate and sell at the Sanbao institute and Po
knows her and favors her with his trade.
There are a number of brush stores along the street where she is
located. Even an old lady selling brushes on the sidewalk from a
kiester at the corner of an alley.
Yixing is another city where ceramic brushes are plentiful and you
can get calligraphy brushes and a lot of artists brushes all over
China. There is a custom there to put all the stores selling similar
stuff in a small locality so find one - you find them all.

Warning! Shameless self-promotion.
I've been dabbling the last couple years making brushes and in this
slow-sales year I've been making more brushes than I know what to do with
so I'm offering them up for sale on my etsy page. They are $10-12 each
with free shipping in the US. The tips are made of deer tail(white tail)
and the handles are black bamboo. The ends are coated in epoxy to help
prolong the life and there is copper ring on the end to hang the brush
from.
Enjoy.
