Claybord™ Box Kit features

Limitless Techniques

Claybord is perfect for creating with mixed media, inks, acrylic, cold wax, graphite, collage, airbrush, gouache, egg tempera, scratchboard, mounting, and more. Unique clay ground allows artists to etch into the surface to add contrast, texture, and details. You can even erase with oil-free steel wool or very fine sandpaper.

Eco-Friendly and Artist Safe

Central to Ampersand’s mission is to ensure that our products do not harm the environment or the artists who use them. Both our domestic and imported panels are made from FSC-certified forest products that promote sustainable forests and are also free from formaldehyde or harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds), unlike other hardboards and MDF boards.

Made in the USA

Proudly handcrafted in our factory in Buda, Texas. Unparalleled quality and craftsmanship have made Ampersand Art Supply the leader in painting panels for over 25 years.
