Clay Board Murals — A Dialogue Across Time
Deep within the caves of Mogao in Dunhuang, ancient artists wove eternal paintings using earth, minerals, and time. A thousand years later, we invite you to become the continuation of this dialogue.
We believe that art is not the accumulation of technique, but the voice of the soul. Each clay board carries the wisdom of the ancients. Imperfection is the very soul of mural beauty — the fine cracks, the mottled colors, the natural weathering marks — these are the most precious gifts that time bestows upon art.
This is a spiritual journey spanning millennia. As you quiet your mind and gently apply pigment to the rough clay board, you will discover: the noise fades away, and the soul finds its resting place.

Heritage & Innovation in Clay Board Craftsmanship
Traditional clay board foundations are made from natural materials including hemp fiber, wheat bran, straw, and cotton — materials refined through generations of master craftsmen.
We've preserved these authentic properties while optimizing our formula and techniques for enhanced performance. The improved clay boards provide a significantly better creative experience.
Note: Slight imperfections may exist due to handmade production
Nature's Color Code
"Cinnabar is frozen sunrise; Azurite is distilled deep sea.
Every stroke you take is a conversation with the ancients."
When mineral pigments are mixed with gelatin in a 1:1 ratio, colors slowly penetrate and settle — just as they did for mural painters a thousand years ago.
The roughness of the clay "eats" some color; mineral particles leave natural spots. These imperfections are precisely the most precious gifts.
How to Create Your Mural
Six steps to your masterpiece
Transfer
Place transfer paper face-down on clay board. Trace outlines with charcoal pencil.
Outline
Use ink to trace outlines. Let dry completely before coloring.
Color
Layer colors progressively. Apply background broadly and let partially dry.
Redraw Lines
Use ink to redraw lines covered by colors, restoring crisp outlines.
Aging
Sand gently to simulate natural weathering. Focus on edges.
Frame
Place in the included frame. Secure bottom with screws and attach hardware.
Pro Tips
Mix gelatin and mineral pigments in 1:1 ratio before use
Apply background color broadly and let half-dry before next step
Add colors in layers, light to dark
Use fine brushes for details and line work
Ink can be diluted for light/medium/dark shading tones
Adding ink to colors creates darker, richer tones
