I am looking for a supply of very soft # 4 fan
brushes. I usually order them from Dove brushes, but
they have been back ordered since Oct '98, and my
current brushes are nearly dead! These brushes are
very soft, with white bristles -- sorry, don't know
what they're made from. I have tried other soft fans,
but they all have brown bristles and are still too
firm. The firmer brushes seem to wipe off as much
underglaze as they apply. Does anyone know of another
manufacturer or some who has a stash of these brushes
they would be willing to part with? Thanks.

Hi:
I don't know if these are what you are looking for, but Seattle Pottery
Supply has a number of brushes with soft, white bristles that I use for
applying glazes and underglazes. Their number is 206-587-0570.

Hi Berry,
I had a panic last year when a supplier no longer carried a
CRITICAL brush I always use. I tracked down the manufacturer:
Symphony Fine Art Instruments, Tel 800 654 6279 . Nice
catalogue. They have 3 kinds of fan brushes: white and brown
bristle and synthetic white bristle. Hope this helps!

Hi Everybody!
Fan brushes can be acquired at the Art Supply Warehouse (1-800-995-6778). I
just received their semi-annual catalogue, and I skimmed over a multitude of
different kinds of brushes, including fan brushes.
Happy brushing!

if you have older worn brushes, you can manually hold them into a fan
shape and hit the base with hot glue creating a new ferule (sp) and then
trim the hairs to refine the shape, it saves money and gives new life to
brushes. I do this with brushes at school that have had one too many
bad hair days. I also trim messed up brushes into dagger shapes and
flats, and thin the outside hairs away so that we have really thin liner
brushes. also if you trim the hairs down to about 1/4 inch you get a
stencil brush. Some schools have less money than the average potter!
