In the current Ceramics Monthly, Elaine Alt uses black crepe tape for
creating her designs. What is this called in the US and where can it be
bought?
TIA,

it MAY be photographer's black tape (made by 3M) and should be found in
stores that sell photo chemicals etc.

Hi Judy,
Black crepe tape is also called ruling tape and can be purchase at
your local art supply store. It is available in various widths. Be
advised that there is also ruling tape that is non crepe. Non crepe
types can be used for straight lines only, crepe will allow you to
make curves and bends. Make sure you burnish it a bit with a smooth
tool if using it for a mask.

Hi Judy,
This is most likely lining tape, which used to be used for making printed
circuit board artwork, and still is used by graphic artists who like to
work with REAL media, like pencils and paints. It is used for masking and
laying even width lines on artwork. You can bend it into complex shapes
without losing the width and sharpness of the line. It is an adhesive
tape, and usually comes in special dispensers, and in various widths from a
millimeter or so up to several inches. Look for it in a graphic arts store.

This tape was used to make printed circuit master drawings. It came in
dozens of widths. Try a drafting supply place. I used to do that stuff 15
years ago. Nowadays, it is mostly done with computers, but the older
technology may still be around for small jobs.
