The Extension of Your Intent.

Three generations of brushmakers — tying hair, driving ferrules and shaping hardwood handles by hand. Brushes built to disappear between your wrist and the canvas.

The Workshop

Three Generations of Brushmakers.

“My grandfather sized the bristles by eye and hand. We still do — every Kamal brush is balanced on the bench before it leaves the workshop.”

Founded in Mumbai in 1995, Kamal Brushware ties hair, drives ferrules and shapes hardwood handles for artists, sign-writers and trade painters working across India.
