Ampersand Scratchboard Tools
FIBER BRUSH:
Use the fiber brush tool like an eraser to soften crisp edges and to create gradual tonal values. Use a soft brush to remove the eraser dust because the fiberglass fibers can cause skin irritation.
WIRE BRUSH:
Use the wire brush for creating random textures like hair, grass and fur. Curved stainless steel wires are held together in this wood handled tool.
SRATCH KNIFE HOLDER with 2 nibs:
The scratch knife is the best tool to select when trying scratchboard for the first time. Each handle comes with 2 nibs, one point and one curved.
LINE TOOL:
Use the line tool for parallel lines and easy cross-hatching. This tool has five needles tightly pressed together so you can create extremely fine cross-hatching details.
TOOL KIT:
Use the Ampersand tools to work with the Clayboard panels and for scratchboard. The Scratchboard Toolkit comes with one each of the tools shown in the image, a piece of steel wool and a free piece of Clayboard for experimentation. Tools are also available packaged individually.
