Princeton Artist Brush Co.

Description
The Princeton Catalyst Contours are innovative, hand-held shaping tools designed to give artists unmatched control over sculpting, shaping, and texturing a wide variety of artistic mediums. Made from heat-resistant solid nylon, these tools are durable, flexible, and exceptionally versatile—perfect for both fine detail work and bold expressive techniques.

Catalyst Contours work beautifully with acrylics, oils, and water-miscible oils, and are especially effective for encaustic painting, thanks to their ability to withstand high temperatures. Beyond traditional painting, they can also be used with ceramic plaster, clay, mixed media, and are even FDA-approved for cake decorating and food crafting, making them truly multi-purpose tools.

Each Contour is ergonomically shaped to fit comfortably in the hand, allowing for fatigue-free use during long creative sessions. Cleanup is effortless—most paint rinses away with soap and water, dried paint peels off cleanly, and the tools are dishwasher safe. A built-in hanging hole allows easy storage when not in use.

Available in 12 uniquely designed contour styles, these tools open up endless creative possibilities for artists who enjoy tactile, hands-on mark making.
