Pottery and Ceramics Brushes

Dip your brush into the paint only halfway up the bristles.
Keep paint out of the ferrule, the metal part that holds the bristles in the brush.
The paint will dry there and splay out the bristles.
Rinse your brushes in dish soap and hot water.
Pinch the ends of the bristles flat.
Wipe clean bristles over the glue section of an envelope or a bar of soap while they're still wet and use your fingers to shape the bristles.
Allow brushes to dry with bristles standing upright.
Rinse off the glue or soap with warm water when you want to use your brushes again and you're ready to go.

Good words and good deeds keep life's garden free of weeds.

Have you ever come up with a good idea while working with your pottery or ceramics and thought that you would like to share it with others? You have? Well, why not send it to us and we will add it to the tips page for all to see.

There are signs that pottery and ceramics are losing appeal for a younger generation. There are pottery and ceramic departments closing in teaching institutions throughout the country. The common understanding is that younger students are reluctant to commit themselves to the intensive study required to master pottery and ceramics. Why spend three years to learn just one art form when you can pick up PhotoShop in less than a week? Pottery wheels lie idle as students flock to the computer labs. With all the stressful actions in the world today, releasing that stress through pottery and ceramics would be very beneficial to ones well being.
