I have a Copper Hat (Victoria, B.C., Canada) silvertip brush that I've been using for just over a month. I plan to write a review of it once I have enough posts to qualify. For the moment let me just say that it's quite a good brush, especially for the price. Has anyone else had any experience with brushes from this maker or from any other Canadian "small-output" manufacturers? Or do you have other boutique maker names to suggest for trying semi-custom or custom brushes? As you can tell, my SBAD is in full swing.
