Stretching

…aaaaaahh…



Not the yoga kind, although when we stretch oil canvas or cross stitch material, it's often handy to do a few yoga stretches ourselves.

Stretching takes years of experience to do well, and a great eye for measuring and assessing the give of a canvas or cloth to know how much stretching it will take.

Fabrics will tighten and relax with temperature and humidity changes, so multiple adjustments to stretched art are done before we send a project home with you.
