Museo aluminium stretcher bars stretchers are a museum grade aluminium wood composite bar 45mm deep. The wooden edge strip is made of laminated pine and allows easy stapling at the back of the canvas. These deep edge stretchers have a 27mm lip to raise the canvas away from the bars. The aluminium body gives excellent stability, making these bars completely resistant to warping. The strength of the aluminium also means that fewer cross-bars are needed to support the stretcher frame. The stretcher frame can be re-tensioned using an Allen key.

Please note that the price of the bar includes all the fittings.

Museum Series Claybord™ is made using 1/8" true artist hardboard and features Ampersand’s simply amazing kaolin clay ground formula similar in paintability to the clay gesso grounds used during the Renaissance. The surface is sanded to an ULTRA-smooth, highly absorbent finish so your paint colors remain true and brilliant. Work the surface by thinly applying paint or ink, then remove it, reapply it, even scratch through it to add contrast, texture and fine details. Claybord is a favorite of both fine and graphic artists. Only Ampersand builds their cradles by hand with premium grade 13-ply birch plywood for maximum stability and a clean, finished look from edge to edge. Choose from 3/4", 1.5" and 2" Deep, all made in the USA. WHILE STOCK LASTS
