How to stretch a canvas
& make a frame.

Demonstration and workshop.
Morning or afternoon sessions.

Sunday 12 July
with Jim Moody

A HAS members only event.

Come and watch a demonstration on stretching your own canvas, with the option to purchase materials and make a stretched canvas to take home. Then follow along with a demonstration on how to make contemporary gap frames in this 3-hour session.

Our professional HAS tutor will guide you through every step of stretching a canvas and demonstrate how to create a professionally finished gap frame for stretched canvases and boards.

All aspects of the process will be covered including canvas over stretchers, cutting and joinery for making frames, necessary tools, finishing methods, and a list of suppliers. This practical session will give you the skills and information to save a fortune making your own frames and to explore the creative possibilities of stretching your own canvas.

10.30am – 1.30pm the same session is repeated 2pm – 5pm.

Attending the session for the demonstration is free.
You can also add an option to stretch your own canvas ($50 - materials supplied for a 20” x 30” canvas to take home) by completing the form below*.

*You may be handy already, or at no additional charge, you can bring along someone to stretch your canvas for you. Individual help and guidance will be supplied.

These sessions are for HAS members (and their helpers) only.

There is no option for framing to take home - framing is demonstration only.
