Brushes aren't just for watercolors anymore! Or acrylics or oils, either!

That's right...brushes are (and have been) an integral part of creating pottery. They are used for slapping slip over scored lines when joining clay parts. They allow us to paint with slips, underglazes, glazes, and overglazes. They help us coat our kiln shelves with kiln wash. We use them for applying wax resist.

And yes, I admit I even use one when cleaning up clay dust from my work table.
