At Ampersand Art Supply. surface matters. In 1994. we began our mission of reviving the time-honored tradition of panel painting with the creation of Claybord. our first coated painting panel. Today we have eleven surfaces that support all media ranging from oils to watercolor and even launched a line of innovative solid wood Floaterframes and Duoframes to protect your artwork beautifully. Surface matters. because your art matters.

Aquabord quickly became my favorite water-media surface because once sealed. my paintings do not need to be covered by glass.

I paint exclusively on Claybord now. The surface is exquisite.
