Canvas and Linen:

We sell by the metre; Carravagio oil and universal primed linens, Belgian oil and universal primed linen, Loomstate unprimed and primed, and unprimed cotton duck. Full rolls of linen (10 meters) and cotton (25 meters) receive a 10% discount. 

​

Artist Stretcher bars:

adArt stocks various profile stretcher bars in Hoop Pine and Pink Gum, made by artisan makers at Chapman and Bailey, and Fitzroy Stretchers. Our artist stretchers use the traditional mitre joint. Using this joint in combination with wedges allows the stretcher to expand and maintain strength and stability throughout.
