Closing date: 30 September 2019

We now offer a custom canvas stretching service with a massive

range of 16 types of canvas to choose from! This includes

cotton and linen, clear primed, universal primed and oil primed-

all imported directly from Italy and France (no Middleman!). The

quality speaks for itself.

What sets us apart: The Canvas Company manufactures from

SUSTAINABLY SOURCED wood that is imported from Austria.

This wood is highly respected for its archival qualities: stable,

light and resistant to moisture and insect damage.

Forget the old ‘wedge’ system! We have a new innovative way

of stretching canvases that has never before been available in

South Africa.

Not only does it look great, but functionally it works much better

than the old wedge system, ensuring that your canvases will

always remain tight. This easy-to-use system will fully expand

your canvas frame faster and much easier than wedges - and

the best part is that your wedges won’t fall out and get lost! We

stretch and prepare them to exacting specifications for amateur

and professional artists alike. All you’ll have to do is paint!

We offer a very wide range of prices, with canvas ranging from

R109 per sq metre for universal primed Italian cotton, all the

way up to hand oil primed linen at R1,465.

An exciting new manufacturer of custom stretched canvases.

Austrian Red Fir is a sustainably-harvested

timber that is highly respected for its archival

qualities. Stable, light and resistant to moisture

and insect damage.
