{"type":"firestarter.listing","listing":{"id":"lst_axUBzbQH","product_name":"Studio Paintbrush Flat ½ in","category":"Art Supplies","description":"Most paintbrushes are designed to be disposable. When the lacquer peels, the wood cracks or the bristles lose their shape, the whole thing gets thrown away. We’ve rethought that. Our Studio brushes are built for longevity – a durable anodised aluminium handle made to last, paired with artist-quality brush heads that can be replaced when worn. Keep the handle. Replace the head. A brush designed to be your creative companion for life.\nFlat ½ in – Smooth washes and crisp edgesDesigned for broad strokes, clean lines and even washes. Excellent for skies, backgrounds, glazing and graphic marks.\nMeet our Studio Brushes…\n\nPrecision-machined anodised aluminium handles, satisfyingly weighted and beautifully balanced.\nSoft, springy synthetic sable brush heads, suited to expressive washes as well as fine, controlled detail.\nEach brush head is handmade in the UK and designed to be replaced once worn – reducing waste and keeping your handle in use for years to come.\n\nBrush heads, redefinedEach brush head is handmade in the UK by skilled brushmakers, drawing on decades of experience and using the finest-quality synthetic fibres. Synthetic bristles have come a long way – today’s modern fibres are consistent, with lovely spring, smooth flow and reliable control, which is exactly why we chose them. They perform beautifully with both watercolour and gouache, and stand up to years of regular use.\nHandles built for balanceEach handle is precision-machined from solid anodised aluminium, giving a satisfying weight and excellent durability. We’ve paid close attention to balance, so the brush feels comfortable, steady and controlled in use.\nDesigned to stay with youWhen a brush head reaches the end of its life, it can be easily removed and replaced. Less waste, more painting, and a beautifully made handle designed to stay with you for the long term.","images":["https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0089/6129/4417/files/StudioBrush_CobaltBlue_Flat1_2_fd387305-2326-4b54-bfb6-5a8aa8d87938.jpg?v=1773332392","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0089/6129/4417/files/BrushHeads_Webflat12_635df6f1-a06c-4c85-a1c7-b4cd2640ae73.jpg?v=1782981395","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0089/6129/4417/files/AllyArtTools_Web4.jpg?v=1773332392","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0089/6129/4417/files/AllyArtTools_Web2.jpg?v=1773332392","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0089/6129/4417/files/AllyArtTools_Web8.jpg?v=1773332392","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0089/6129/4417/files/StudioBrushSet2.jpg?v=1772634411"],"price":28,"currency":"USD","in_stock":true,"inventory_qty":9999,"dynamic_pricing":false,"listed_at":"2026-06-18T20:47:22.571Z"},"share_url":"https://firestarter.network/l/lst_axUBzbQH","purchase":{"summary":"Live product listing on the Firestarter agent commerce network.
