Frequently Asked Questions
Canvas or Print
We print all our canvases and prints ourselves in the gallery itself. Everything we print is fully colour calibrated to ensure the highest quality and complete consistency.
Our prints are all signed copies, printed on thick matt photographic paper, ready to be framed in your own choice of frame. Sizes listed online are approximate sizes and your framer should build a frame with their own measurements. Prints come rolled up in a tube. Be warned if you open the tube it is not always easy to roll prints back up without damaging them.
One of the huge advantages of our hand-stretched canvases is that they have an inbuilt wooden frame. This means there is no need for expensive traditional picture framing, no reflection from glass and they are a fraction of the weight. As they are so light, they are easy to hang and p&p is free for customers in the UK for orders of over £85.
Stretching the canvas is done in the gallery by hand and requires a great deal of skill. After the canvas is printed and placed face down on the workbench, a kiln-dried pine frame is assembled to the exact size required and placed on top. The canvas is then stretched around this and stapled on the back. A hanger is attached and the canvas is ready to be hung.
