Ampersand Art Supply Headquarters is a company that makes an artist's dream surfaces to paint on. Their products, including Pastelbord, Hardbord, and Claybord, are consistently well-made and of the highest quality. Artists describe them as the very best medium, perfect for oil pastel, watercolor, acrylic, oil, encaustic, and multi-media work. The rigid substrate handles texture, grounds, pastes, palette knife work, and stenciling beautifully, allowing pieces to be worked over and over. Photographers also favor Hardbord as the best choice for glazing-free photo mounting. The company is noted for its great customer service and knowledgeable staff who help artists select perfect products. They make custom size panels and framing systems, executed with great service and perfectly true to size. The location is much bigger on the inside than it appears. While they do not sell general art supplies at this headquarters, they focus on manufacturing their superb panels. Artists find the investment worth it for both personal work and teaching, praising the wonderful company that truly thinks about the needs of an artist.
Excellent quality products for artists. My preferred brand.

I love Ampersand floater frames because they create a beautiful presentation to any style of artwork I use them with.
