Collection: Multi-Art Shapes

FOR PAINTING AND MOSAICS!

Multi-art shapes are precision, laser-cut maple wood backers perfect for both mosaics and painting. They are for Interior use ONLY and are 1/4" thick.

These maple wood shapes offer several advantages for mosaic artists and painters:

  1. Durability: Maple is a hardwood, making it strong and resistant to damage. This provides a solid and stable surface for both mosaics and painting.
  2. Thickness:  1/4” thickness makes them easy to frame; or hang using our special hanging system.
  3. Smooth Surface: Maple has a fine grain, resulting in a smooth surface that is ideal for adhering mosaic tiles and application of paint without the interference of wood grain textures.
  4. Aesthetic Quality: The light, natural color of maple is visually appealing, especially when left unfinished or given a clear finish; accepts stains well.
  5. Stability: Maple is less prone to warping over time which helps maintain the structural integrity of a mosaic and a painting.
  6. Eco-Friendliness: As a commonly available and sustainable wood, maple is an environmentally friendly choice for artists concerned about using renewable resources.
  7. Paintable: which facilitates lower cost for paints.

For mosaics:

  • Before you begin, seal all surfaces and edges with 1/2 weld bond and 1/2 water. Brush on, let dry before starting your mosaic.
  • Use Weld Bond for adhesive - Sanded grout works well.
  • Paint edges and back if desired with acrylic paints. 
  • Hanging: You can use our hanging system which can easily be glued onto the back after you have completed your mosaic. See instructions here. Framing is easier with 1/4" thickness.

For painters:

  • No sanding or surface smoothing required.
  • Acrylic and oil paints work well.
