Miniature work demands full-scale surface quality. These tiles deliver the same kaolin clay coating and ultra-smooth finish as standard Claybord panels, just sized for different applications. The absorbent surface accepts watercolor, gouache, ink, and casein with immediate adhesion, while remaining smooth enough for pen work and fine detail that would catch on textured substrates.

Ampersand sands each tile to eliminate surface irregularities that compromise precision at small scale. Colors remain true and brilliant rather than dulling or shifting as they can on porous surfaces. Archiva-Seal barrier technology protects against yellowing and deterioration, making these suitable for finished work rather than just studies or experiments.

Five sizes accommodate everything from ACEO trading cards to modular compositions. The rigid surface won't buckle under wet media or warp during layered techniques. Mount finished tiles directly, incorporate them into mixed media assemblages, or work in series across multiple surfaces. Small format doesn't mean compromised materials, these tiles maintain professional standards for artists working at intimate scale.
