Claybord™ The Ultimate Multi-Media Panel
Museum Series Claybord™ is made using 1/8” Hardbord panels, featuring Ampersand’s simply amazing kaolin clay ground formula. This ultra-smooth sanded, highly absorbent clay ground is similar in paintability to the clay gesso grounds used during the Renaissance and allows paint colors to remain true and brilliant! While Claybord allows the use of traditional materials, tools, and techniques, it is also an ideal surface for mixed media and experimentation. Details can be added, highlights created, and mistakes corrected. Apply paint and ink using brushes, sponges, palette knives, paper towels, airbrush, technical pens, and painting tools. Claybord is also an excellent printing surface, and can also be used for image transfers.

- 1-1/2" Cradled Panels - offer more support for using heavier mediums and built-up textures. The depth allows for traditional canvas-style framing or floater frames.
- 2" Deep Cradle Panels - for maximum support and frameless presentation, all in one.
With Claybord, paints, and inks can be manipulated to vary tonal values, develop highlights, and correct mistakes. Various artist tools, such as Ampersand scratchboard tools, hobby knives, razor blades, etching tools, sand paper, oil-free steel wool, and electric erasers, can be used. Claybord's clay coating allows for the use of sgraffito techniques to cut into the surface and re-expose the white clay ground. The coating is 7 to 10 dry-mils thick, allowing for multiple cut-ins or erasers. The smooth finish and the absorbency of the clay ground allow the use of abrasives like oil-free steel wool or sand paper to remove pigment without damaging the finish.
