Stretchers & Canvases
We can supply Stretchers in many sections and thicknesses with a sharp or rounded face edge and to the sizes you require. Because we make all our stretcher section in house, we can cut the lengths that you need - be it "inches" or in "cm" we don’t mind whatever you prefer working in. The largest we have made to date was 15ft long and the smallest was 4 inches square. We make bespoke shaped stretchers & canvases, check out the gallery page to see some of the Trevor Bell shaped canvases we made with him.
We can supply just the stretcher, or the readymade canvas primed or un-primed and will happily make stretchers & stretch your own canvas /linen for you.
We offer discount on large orders & have a delivery/collection service every Friday in the Cornwall area.
Mail order available throughout mainland UK. Call for details.
Packing Crates
Need to transport your valuable work, but are worried about how its treated when it leaves you? You need a packing crate. We can help you protect it. We have made packing/transport cases and crates for artwork which has travelled all over the world.
We are happy to make small one-off boxes to large crates for multiple items. Please ring for more info and pricing.
Stretching Service
We use a 12oz Cotton Duck canvas on our readymade canvases which we can supply primed or un-primed. We are happy to re-stretch (& prime if required) any old stretchers you have.
We keep 108" wide 12oz cotton duck (un-primed) in stock. This is available to buy by the metre or we can order in full rolls.
We also offer a stretching service for new or old paintings or giclee prints you have that need stretching. Maybe you have old paintings on twisted or warped stretchers that need re-doing, then give us a call.
We generally do this at the workshop but are happy to come to your studio if you have a large canvas that needs re-stretching or one that is awkward to transport.

You work out what it is you require & we will figure out how to make it for you.
