1.  Amagic Artist Soft Fan Brushes

I just love, love, love these Fan brushes and find I use them most often. They are a must-have when decorating your pottery.

Price: 

These AMAGIC Artist Soft Fan Brushes are reasonably priced. Making them so affordable, you’ll want to buy two sets. You can order yours by clicking Fan Brush Set.

Coverage:

I found that the effects they create and the coverage they produce have been excellent. These Fan Brushes make Glazing more enjoyable when you feel the glaze sliding onto the pottery smoothly. These brushes are also good for decorative glazing. You can apply thin lines by using the side of your brush. Abstract glazing is also fun and easy with these brushes.

Durability:

Picking little brush hairs from your glaze work can be annoying, to say the least. These brushes have not shed on my pottery so far. The brush handles feel good in your hand, and they are durable and last a long time. The metal band that holds the bristles in place is also durable.
It’s hard to glaze when your bristles are not just right. These bristles hold up well and maintain consistent stroke-to-stroke consistency. They also come with a 60-day guarantee and a 12-month replacement warranty.

Other Features:

The  AMAGIC Artist Fan Brush Set makes glazing and underglazing fun and easy. I love the assortment of sizes to choose from. As a potter, you always have projects of different sizes and decorating styles.

That’s why there is no way you can have only one size Fan brush. I love using the Fan brush for my small and medium-sized projects. This Fan brush is neither too stiff nor too soft, and it holds the glaze on the brush nicely.

2. Amagic Anti-Shedding Hog Bristle Brush Set

This brush set is different from the AMAGIC Artist Soft Fan Brushes. They are natural hog hair bristles and not as soft.

Price: 

These AMAGIC Fan Brushes are very reasonably priced for natural hair bristles. You will find them to be a good value for six brushes. You can order yours by clicking Fan Brush Set.

Coverage:

The effects these brushes produce differ from those of other glaze brushes because the bristles are on the stiffer side. They may leave brush marks on your clay, which is great if you want to produce that effect on your pottery. The patterns they produce are unique, especially with slip design and Underglazing. These brushes are perfect if you need a brush on the firmer side. You can apply thin lines by using the side of your brush. Abstract and slip-decorating are fun and easy with these brushes.

Durability:

When decorating, the last thing you want to do is pick stray hairs off your pottery. These brushes have not shed so far. The handles are durable and have a good feel in your hand. The metal band that holds the bristles in place is also durable and hasn’t loosened on any of the brushes. If it does, they also have a 12-month replacement warranty and a 60-day guarantee.

Other Features:

This Fan Brush Set is perfect for Underglazing and Slip application, whether you are attaching something or decorating, and you need the extra firmness, these brushes do the trick. The different-sized brushes have come in very handy for a wide range of projects and decorating styles. This set also comes with a nice plastic storage container.

3. Patelai Hake Brushes

While glazing seems similar to painting, it’s not. The ingredients of glazes consist mainly of silica, clay, and colorants, which make them very different from paint. That’s why not just any brush will do. I found that when glazing larger areas, the Patelai Hake Brushes do a better job than any brush I have used before. 

Price:  

For all-natural brushes, these Patelai Hake Brushes are definitely a reasonable price. For this set of three good-sized brushes, you can check the price HERE.

Coverage:

You will find the glaze just glides on, leaving a smooth finish. Hake brushes hold extra glaze, ensuring even coverage and making it easier than with other brushes. These brushes hold the glaze really well and make application go faster and smoother than with other brushes I have used, resulting in better overall coverage.

Durability:

These Brushes have held up very well for me so far. Only lost a few bristles here and there. All in all, for the number of times I have used the brushes, the bristle loss is very low. The handles are long and sturdy, which makes glazing in hard-to-reach spots easier.

Other Features:

Using one small brush for all my pottery didn’t work out well at all. The smaller brush on bigger pots took forever to apply, and the coverage turned out uneven. That’s why it’s great to have three different Hake brush sizes to choose from.

4. XDT Hake Brush Set 

The XDT Hake Brush Set of Three is another good Hake brush set to choose from.

Price: 

For the Basic Set of brushes, the price point is terrific. You will get a nice set of 3 Hake Brushes. To check out the price, CLICK HERE.

Coverage:

This set of  Hack Brushes is excellent for glazing. The long hairs are good at holding a considerable amount of glaze. This allows the glaze to flow on instead of being brushed on. Stiff brushes leave streak marks. These brushes hold just the right amount of glaze.

Durability:

These brush handles are made from low-quality wood and are roughly shaped. With that said, the bristles are natural and hold the glaze nicely, and are also easy to clean.

Other Features:

One size does not fit all when it comes to glazing. The choice of 3 sizes 1.18in, 2in, 2.95 definitely makes a difference when glazing large and small pieces of pottery.

5. Transon Round Tip Brush Set

Did you ever search for the right brush and thickness you desire when decorating your pottery? These Brushes are great for detail work with glazing and underglazing.

Price: 

You will find this set of 8 Transon Round Detail Brushes with nice soft bristles is reasonably priced. For this set of brushes, you can check the price HERE.

Coverage:

These Transon Round Tip Detail Brushes have soft bristles that hold the glaze and work for great detail design, from thin to thick lines. Different sizes come in handy for a range of strokes and patterns. You don’t want to just glob a bunch of glaze in a hard-to-reach area or in the corner of your piece and hope for the best. These brushes are great at reaching hard-to-reach areas.

Durability:

These brushes are amazing. I don’t find hairs on my pottery, which is a great plus.
The brush handles have a smooth feel to them and make it super easy to control while applying the glaze.

Other Features:

Having different sizes to choose from is a big plus when decorating your work. The thicker brush sure does do the trick when you want to draw heavier lines, and the thinner brushes also fit the bill. I’ve been happy with these brushes. CLICK HERE to get yours too.

6. Transon Detail Brush Set

If you are looking for fine lines to draw on your pottery This set of 7 brushes is excellent for that very detailed type of artwork. These are my go-to detail brushes. I tried others, but go back to these.

Price: 

Given the number of brushes you get with this and their quality, the price is quite amazing. You can check the price HERE.

Coverage:

These are wonderful for fine lines and detailed Underglazing. When you want crisp lines and do detailed Underglazing, the Transon fine brushes are what you need. They are perfect for super fine lines.
When I used these for Underglazing, they worked great. They held the underglaze nicely and go on in nice smooth strokes.

Durability:

The quality and value of these brushes are very good. When you want very flexible, soft strokes for drawing thin lines on your pottery, this 7-piece brush set is a good choice. CLICK HERE to get yours.

Other Features:

The convenient carrying case keeps the brushes nice and neat.
The bristles will be stiff at first. Just rinse them in warm water, and they are ready to design with.

Note:

Make sure you always wash your brushes out after every use. And never use your wax-resist brushes for glazing. It’s essential to keep them separate because your glaze will not stick where there is wax resistance. Labeling your wax resist brushes works the best. We think we’ll remember, then all of a sudden, (Oh no, which brush did I use for wax resist!)
