Scraperboard artists etch their designs onto the board with sharp tools such as knives or needles, resulting in striking, high-contrast images. 

Scraperboard, which is usually made of a coated surface, cannot be reused after the ink or clay layer has been scratched away. Scraping excludes the top layer, making restoration difficult. For each project, nevertheless, you can create new artwork on a clean, uncoated scraperboard surface.
