Vicki Hardin - Making & Using Custom Handmade Brushes
October 31-November 6th, 2010
Learn to make gorgeous handmade brushes that are works of
art and functional tools. Each day, several types of brushes will be introduced
using different hair and construction methods. Demonstrations will include
knot-tying, epoxy mixing, cutting and wrapping hairs, and making brush handles.
Students will work with buck tail hair, moose hair, horse hair, rooster hackle,
broom corn straw, and other fibers. The brushes we make may be used to decorate
ceramics or for sumi ink, calligraphy, and watercolor, acrylic, or oil painting.
The class will also include demonstrations on how handmade brushes can be used
to make dynamic marks on a variety of surfaces.
All levels. Studio potter since 1984, producing utilitarian stoneware, handmade
brushes and decorative pit fired and rakued vessels; publisher of on-line
