Brush Cleaners & Thinners

Ceramic Brush Cleaners & Pottery Glaze Thinners

Ceramic brush cleaners and pottery glaze thinners are useful studio supplies for keeping brushes clean and adjusting the flow of ceramic colours, underglazes and glazes. This page focuses on cleaner and thinner liquids for pottery painting and ceramic studio use.

Brush cleaners help remove stubborn colour, underglaze and glaze residue from natural hair brushes, synthetic brushes and detail brushes. Regular cleaning helps keep brush fibres smooth, flexible and ready for the next decorating session.

Thinners are used when you need to adjust the consistency of ceramic paints, glazes or colours so they spread more evenly. They are especially helpful when brush-on products become too thick or when a smoother flow is needed for detailed work.
