High-quality board with great texture!

The Ampersand Encausticbord is perfect for any artist looking to create stunning pieces in the Arts and Crafts genre. Using this product, our team found that the board had a textured surface that allowed for a great deal of artistic detail and depth.

Pros
  • Durable and heat-resistant surface for encaustic painting.
Cons
  • Some artists may find it difficult to work with the hardboard texture.
