Stretch a canvas. Make a frame.

Demonstration and workshop.
Morning or afternoon sessions.

Sunday 12 July
with Jim Moody

A HAS members only event.

Have a go at stretching your own canvas and watch a demonstration of how to make your own contemporary gap frames, in this 3 hour session. Our professional HAS tutor will explain and demonstrate every step of stretching your own canvas and making a professionally finished gap frame for stretched canvas or boards.

All aspects of the process will be covered including a demonstration of stretching, 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.

Participants can choose to stretch a 20” x 30” canvas to take home. 

Payment options are:
$20 for the demo only
$70 for demo and make your own stretched canvas*.

*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.
