Framing Canvas Prints: An Excellent Gallery Wrap Alternative
When printmakers think about canvas, they tend to think about stretching.
It also means that the print maker has to either pay someone to stretch the canvas or take on the training to learn how to stretch.
However it’s possible to produce canvas prints which can be turned into beautiful framed prints without stretching and they can be displayed without any glazing (glass) like a paper print needs.
This is done with a wet mount of a coated canvas to a substrate such as gator board. In the photograph above you can see a 28″ x 28″ canvas print that was mounted to gator and has been framed.
