• Create visually interesting textured backgrounds that shine through transparent enamels
• Cover a metal piece with texture in order to transfer the texture to metal clay pieces or by rolling through a rolling mill.

Warg Matting Tools are meticulously fabricated by hand and are sold individually. Made in USA.
