Artists, teachers, and crafters - these Jack Richeson rubbing plates are such a fun and versatile tool for all sorts of creative projects! You get a set of 6 different textured plates, each measuring 7-1/8 x 7-1/8 inches, made from durable black plastic. The cool Op Art designs create amazing patterns when you rub over them with pencils, crayons, paint sticks, or just about any coloring tool. You can use them on paper, fabric, clay, metal - seriously, the possibilities are endless! The best part is you can use both the front and back of each plate, and sometimes the back creates even more interesting patterns than the front. They're perfect for adding texture to drawings, creating patterned fabrics, decorating pottery, or making unique backgrounds for mixed media projects. Teachers love them for classroom art activities because they're easy for kids to use and create impressive results every time. The plates are sturdy enough to withstand repeated use, and they store easily since they're all the same size. Whether you're a professional artist looking to add new textures to your work, a teacher wanting engaging art supplies for students, or just someone who enjoys crafting, these rubbing plates open up so many creative possibilities. They're one of those simple tools that can dramatically expand your artistic repertoire without requiring any special skills or equipment.
