Pre-stretched artists canvases
I can make almost any size of canvas you want, made-to measure from 40cm up to 800cm.
Facilities and materials
My facilities can cope with almost any size and shape of canvas. I use a medium weave, 420gsm (16oz) cotton canvas which is pre-primed at source. This is suitable for most types of paints and subject matter.
The stretcher bars I use are sustainable European softwoods with an ultra-low moisture content (minimizing warping) made from a 44mm square profile. As they are floating frames they have corner wedges used for tensioning – ensuring an even canvas tightness.
These specifications are exactly the same as all my own original paintings so I’m giving you a quality to match my own.
Premium quality components
All canvases come pre-primed so there is no need to use Gesso or any preparatory surface treatments – just open your paints and start painting. All my canvases are suitable for acrylic, oil and solvent-based paints. All staples are fixed to the reverse so the edges are perfect and the corners are folded in the traditional gallery style.
72 hour service*
Need a canvas quickly? No problem. Most canvases can be made and be ready for collection within 72hours if required. There’s no minimum order either. Canvases over 300cm on any side will need seven to ten days to make as they require a set of special alloy support channels to be fabricated.
Collection directly from my studios in Gloucestershire
Due to the quality and nature of my hand-made canvases I don’t send them with any courier companies. You’ll therefore need to organize your own collection. If you struggle to arrange this you can try Anyvan.com and find a local service that will pick them up for you. They will be individually wrapped in anti-static packing foam and taped accordingly.
