Airbrushes & Compressors

Airbrushes- Paasche: An airbrush is a precision instrument that applies many kinds of paint, colour or media to a surface, using an air supply to propel the colour. It differs from a spray gun in as much as it is small and compact, measuring approximately 130-160mm and is used for fine detail work in several art fields, including ceramics

Walker Ceramics supply Paasche Airbrushes - recognized as one of the top names in the field. The Paasche Model "H" is recommended for ceramics, being a single action model for universal applications.
The airbrush is available as a basic Model H3 which comes with a medium sized air cap and colour adjuster, 1/4 oz colour cup and 3 oz bottle assembly. Alternatively, we also stock the "H" set which has the same "H" airbrush, but also includes a 1 oz storage jar, six foot braided air hose and two additional air cap and colour adjusters. The H1 has small pattern capabilities and is suitable for underglaze work or glazes which have been thinned. The H5 has the broad cast pattern capabilities and will accept thicker mixes of glazes, underglaze and oxides.
Air pressure is recommended at 20-45 psi (138-310 kPa) depending on fluids being sprayed and the size of the air cap and colour adjuster. Air pressure is usually supplied by a compressor. Alternatives are cans of airbrush propellant, or a DB32 tyre valve, which connects the air hose to a spare tyre inflated to 35-50 psi (241-345 kPa).
We supply all fittings and accessories for the Paasche, including braided air hose, spare jars and bottles, valves regulators, air propellant cans and manifolds for multiple airbrush use.
