Custom Canvas Stretching & Framing

Art Supplies Australia provides professional custom canvas and linen stretching from our workshop in Hornsby, Sydney. We create custom-sized painting surfaces for artists and can also stretch completed or unstretched artwork.

Our experienced team works with a wide selection of canvas, linen and stretcher options. From compact canvases to large-format work measuring approximately 2.5 × 3 metres, each project is carefully prepared to suit the artwork, material and required dimensions.

Custom Canvas and Linen Options

Choose from a range of artist surfaces to suit different painting techniques, textures and budgets, including:

• 10 oz, 12 oz and 15 oz cotton canvas

• White-primed and black-primed canvas

• Fine, medium and coarse artist linen

• White-primed and black-primed linen

• Polycotton canvas

• Custom-sized stretcher frames

Not sure which surface is suitable? Our team can help you compare canvas weights, linen textures and stretcher options based on your medium, artwork size and preferred finish.

Large-Format Canvas Stretching

Our Hornsby workshop is equipped with a large workbench and professional stretching equipment, allowing us to handle oversized canvas and linen projects. We can comfortably work with sizes up to approximately 2.5 × 3 metres.

Contact us to discuss availability and requirements for unusually large or custom-shaped work.

Artwork Restretching

We can stretch loose canvas and linen artwork onto custom-made stretcher frames. This service is suitable for artists who have painted on unstretched material or need an existing artwork prepared for framing or display.

Please contact us with the artwork dimensions, material and any special requirements so we can recommend the appropriate stretcher and provide a quote.

Custom Floater Frames

Complete your artwork with a custom floater frame for a clean, contemporary presentation. Floater frames create a small visual gap around the artwork, giving the appearance that the canvas is floating inside the frame.

Custom floater frames are available for suitable stretched artworks. Speak with our team about sizing, finish and compatibility with your canvas.
