Folk art can be painted on a wide variety of everyday, natural, and recycled surfaces depending on local traditions and available materials.

Our Folk Art Wood collection includes MDF and plywood shapes as well as plaques, signs, ornaments, boxes, coasters, tablemats, Noah's Ark, and more.

Examples of surfaces which can be used for Folk Art

Wood: Panels, carved figures, boxes, furniture, doors, trays, and wooden kitchen utensils (like spoons and bowls) provide a sturdy and accessible surface.

Metal: Tin, iron, and copper items such as trays, milk cans, weather vanes, and trunks can be painted and sealed.

Canvas and Fabric: Woven textiles, heavy linen, canvas floor cloths, and clothing can be used and work well for traditional designs.

Ceramics and Pottery: Unglazed or glazed earthenware, plates, jugs, and tiles can be decorated with colorful folk art patterns.
