The innovative Encausticbord surface is ready to use and requires no preparation. The bright and velvety ground is perfect not only for encaustics, but for mixed media applications including oil paints and sticks, collage, image transfer, incising and more, and the durable bond offered by the ground means that fantastic textures and thick layers can be built up on its outstandingly receptive surface.

This minimizes the damage to your artwork that can occur with conventional frames. The deeper rabbet provides the perfect depth to position the face of your artwork just below the frame edge for 7/8" and 1½" profile artwork.
