I have been working with cork for some years now, mostly hand paintings and some home accessories. Cork is a wonderful medium, it's a sustainable material and it's a new art form that I believe will be the next big trend :) You can definitely paint cork, with watercolors, acrylic colors or even gouache! It does require sealing if exposed for a long time – I use a non-toxic coating which works perfectly as it doesn't alter the colors or materials.Anyone interested, please check out my site, it gives more info and it shows how I have been using it.

A resounding YES!!. I have cork flooring in my family room and kitchen and also have a large 60 pd Aussie mix dog and did have a kitty. The cork is very durable and easy to take care of. It does scratch, but you will not see the scratches unless you get down on the ground to look. Advice would be to stay away from the darker options that may show scratching.Good luck to you!Suzanne This is in response to Dee Dee’s question as to whether cork is a good choice for her kitchen and family room given her pet situation.
