Canvas Making and Preparation

This 3-day workshop will cover the process of canvas making from start to finish. Each participant will leave with two fully prepared canvases and the ability to create more in the future. Canvas making is a great way to gain a better understanding of your painting process and a cost-effective way to have access to custom-made canvases of any size. You will learn canvas making techniques and participate in constructing two of your own canvases to take home with you. The cost of this class includes all materials, a canvas stretching guide, and a pair of canvas stretching pliers. Come grow and learn as an artist - let's make some canvases!

Wow! Just wow! We took this course as a couple to help the family artist make her own canvases, but got so much more! First of all, to be surrounded by Kirk’s incredible art is one thing, then to have him be such an incredible teacher? (He actually was a teacher and is master woodworker!) This was an amazing experience. If you’ve ever toyed with the notion of making your own canvas, please don’t be intimidated the next time this course comes around on the schedule. Thanks Kirk! It was pure joy to be around you!
