Description: Join me for a workshop using my all-time favorite art surface, Claybord. Claybord is one of the most versatile surfaces on the market for artists to use. It’s an ultra-smooth hardboard surface coated with a thin layer of absorbent kaolin clay. It truly is the ultimate mixed-media surface due to the fact that it accepts more mediums than any other substrate; pigment, dye based, and alcohol inks, gouache, acrylics, airbrush, graphite, and many more. This ultra-smooth surface allows for unlimited techniques such as etching, erasing, adding color and removing color and scratching the color away to add contrast, texture and fine detail. This workshop will focus on the additive and subtractive properties of Claybord. The image will be stamped using a large ArtFoamie and we will use a variety of Claybord tools to create texture and contrast. I’m certain once you have tried this surface it will be one of your favorites as well! You will be provided an 8"x10" Claybord panel to use as your substrate.
