Princeton Artist Brush Co.

Description
The Princeton Catalyst Wedges are innovative, hand-held paint shaping tools designed for artists who want a direct, tactile connection with their work. Crafted from flexible, FDA-approved silicone, these wedges fit naturally in the hand and allow intuitive pushing, pulling, smoothing, scraping, and sculpting of paint and other materials.

Unlike traditional palette knives or brushes, Catalyst Wedges provide uniform texture control and bold shaping with effortless movement. They are ideal for oils, acrylics, and water-miscible oils, and their heat-resistant construction makes them especially effective for encaustic painting. Beyond fine art, these versatile tools can also be used with plaster, clay, ceramics, and even decorative food crafting.

Cleaning is quick and hassle-free—most residue washes away with soap and water, and the wedges are dishwasher safe. Their solvent-resistant silicone ensures durability even with heavy use and professional-grade materials.

Available in 6 distinct wedge shapes, each designed to create different marks, edges, and textures, Catalyst Wedges are perfect for artists who love expressive, modern mark-making.
