Canvas

We print all our canvases ourselves in the gallery itself. Everything is fully colour calibrated to ensure the highest quality and complete consistency. 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.

Making everything as locally as possible means we are in control of the quality, we avoid excessive postage costs and we provide local employment. This means you get a better higher quality, better value print or canvas made in Applecross.
