stretcher frame/canvas making workshop this Saturday, July 12th at 11am
Hello,
On behalf of the Stillwater Artists Coalition, I am holding a stretcher frame/canvas making workshop at my house this Saturday, July 12 at 11am. I live at 824 S. Monroe in Stillwater, the brown cottage lookign house on the NW corner of 9th and Monroe Streets.
This event is free, but you need to bring some of your own supplies. Dean Bloodgood, my old art teacher and mentor, will lead us in the tried and true way to make your own frames. If you want to stick around and stretch and prime your canvas, feel free. Just bring canvas and primer (gesso or latex house paint) and a staple gun if you don't want to wait to share mine. I have hammer, nails, saws, wood glue, etc. but you can bring your own if you don't want to wait to share mine, either:
Depending on how big of a canvas you want to make, or if you want to stretch the canvas over the frame, or just make the frame, bring
Dean will also bring some supplies. You can also bring your lunch if you want, and I do have a restroom and running water.
If you have any questions, just reply to this email or you can call me at 918 906-0227. I rarely answer my phone, so just leave a message and I will do my best to get back to you. If you know anybody who might be interested, let them know when, where and what to bring. It's open to everyone, and it will be fun.
Hope to see you Saturday!

- 1x2s (this is wood, you can get at the lumber yard on 3rd and Perkins or at Lowes. They are 8 feet long, so make sure to get the straightest ones you can, otherwise your canvas will be a little crooked)
- wood glue
- hammer
- nails (make sure they aren't longer than 1")
- staple gun
- canvas
- gesso or other acrylic/latex primer (house paint works ok)
