The 3/4 inch cradled depth ensures durability and stability, while the surface supports both additive and subtractive techniques, making it perfect for professional artists seeking archival-quality panels that can be sealed and framed without glass. ## Description Ampersand’s Museum Series Claybord is the only professional painting panel made with a true kaolin clay ground—a smooth, absorbent, clay-coated painting surface inspired by the clay-gesso panels used by Renaissance artists. This ultra-refined ground offers crisp detail, clean color, and exceptional control for fine artwork on panel, mixed media, and experimental techniques. Unlike other art surfaces, Claybord supports both additive and subtractive approaches—its kaolin clay coating absorbs color beautifully while allowing artists to use scratchboard tools to etch and scratch in fine detail, or to lighten, refine, or even erase areas using oil-free steel wool or fine sandpaper.This flexibility gives artists a unique level of control across a wide range of media, including acrylics, inks, alcohol inks, gouache, egg tempera, casein, watercolor, graphite, airbrush, collage, image transfers, printmaking, and mixed media. The smooth, archival surface also supports mounting photographs, art prints, and other paper artwork, making it an exceptionally versatile rigid painting surface. Every Claybord panel is built on Ampersand’s premium, warp-resistant Hardbord™ core, the most stable wood substrate on the market, and sealed with Archiva-Seal™ to protect against Support-Induced Discoloration (SID). The result is an archival, durable surface suitable for professional work, detailed illustration, painting on panel, and complex mixed media techniques. Claybord is available in a 1/8"" flat profile and in 13-ply birch plywood cradled profiles at 7/8"", 1½"", and 2"" depths. For elegant display options, Ampersand’s 7/8"" Floaterframe is designed to accommodate both the 1/8"" flat and 7/8"" cradled Claybord panels, while the 1½"" Floaterframe is a perfect fit for the 1½"" cradle. The 2"" cradle features an elegant, substantial profile that stands on its own as a statement piece without a frame. Handcrafted in the USA using FSC-certified materials. ## Features - Claybord has a velvety smooth finish- very absorbent and ph neutral - Perfect for pencil-pen-alcohol ink-mixed media-watercolor-gouache-acrylic - Artwork can be sealed or varnished and framed without glass - Bonds well with adhesives to mount paper and fabrics - 9 x 12 inches - 3/4 inch depth ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0027A5CWM | | Best Sellers Rank | #10,500 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #1 in Clayboard | | Brand Name | Ampersand Art Supply | | Color | 3/4" Cradled Profile | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (621) | | Item Dimensions L x W | 12"L x 9"W | | Item Type Name | Museum Series Claybord | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Manufacturer | Ampersand Art Supply | | Manufacturer Part Number | CBSC09 | | Material Type | Wood, Kaolin Clay | | Model Number | CBSC09 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Paint Type | Gouache | | Size | 9" x 12" | | UPC | 707310010926 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | No Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ampersand Art Supply - **Color:** 3/4" Cradled Profile - **Item Weight:** 16 ounces - **Material:** Wood, Kaolin Clay - **Product Dimensions:** 12"L x 9"W ## Images ![Ampersand Museum Series Claybord Panels for Paint and Ink, 3/4 Inch Depth Cradled, 9X12 Inch (CBSC09) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61W2gKLgyiL.jpg) ![Ampersand Museum Series Claybord Panels for Paint and Ink, 3/4 Inch Depth Cradled, 9X12 Inch (CBSC09) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41hH882rN8L.jpg) ![Ampersand Museum Series Claybord Panels for Paint and Ink, 3/4 Inch Depth Cradled, 9X12 Inch (CBSC09) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31yIv8PaEkL.jpg) ![Ampersand Museum Series Claybord Panels for Paint and Ink, 3/4 Inch Depth Cradled, 9X12 Inch (CBSC09) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61XdhPxy7oL.jpg) ![Ampersand Museum Series Claybord Panels for Paint and Ink, 3/4 Inch Depth Cradled, 9X12 Inch (CBSC09) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61fcMuCyeFL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/200824201-ampersand-museum-series-claybord-panels-for-paint-and-ink-3](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/200824201-ampersand-museum-series-claybord-panels-for-paint-and-ink-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
