Before you order

Why custom canvas, not ready-made?

Ready-made canvases come in a few standard sizes; a custom canvas is built to your technique — exact dimensions, fabric and gesso layers — so the surface follows your work instead of limiting it.

Linen or cotton?

Linen fibres are 2–3 times stronger than cotton and the first choice for works meant to last for decades. Cotton is more affordable and fine for practice and large-scale work. On first contact we recommend based on your technique and budget.

How is the frame chosen?

Wood species, colour and finish, profile width and corner style are selected based on the colour, texture and scale of the artwork and the space it will live in — from minimal profiles to floating frames.

“Every canvas and frame tells a story — the story of your wall.”
