I have recently started using Manesiacore as a base for all my Mosiacs, as it offer
me greater flexibility for both internal and external pieces.
It is being used by Artists throughout north America as a canvas. If you are
interested in purchasing small quanties in the UK I have 3mm - 6mm - 9mm and 12mm in stock. Please contact me at
jackie@jamosaics.co.uk for pricing and sizes.
This is an extract from their website www.magnesiacore.com/art
Magnesiacore material uses magnesium oxide ceramic technology
for many beneficial properties as a substrate for durable and unique fine works of art. Magnesiacore panels as thin as 1/8"
(3mm) make exceptional art media supports. With mixed media; encaustics, adhesives, oil paints, acrylic, watercolors, pastels,
plaster and just about anything you can imagine applying to art will fix on to magnesiacore permanently.
Magnesiacore for art has many of the beneficial properties of canvas, paper, hardboard, wood,
plaster, concrete and ceramic, all in one integral hard, rigid, yet relatively flexible fired earthen material with inherent
elasticity and longevity.
