Canvas printing service

Images are printed on gallery quality canvas using Canon wide format printers. These printers use specially developed pigment inks to ensure that your finished picture is vibrant and remains colourfast for at least 75 years.
Canvas prints are built in the popular wrap-around gallery style, which means that no traditional framing is required. Each print comes fitted with its own hanger to ensure that your picture is ready to display for your immediate enjoyment.

EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE

6 canvasses shown on right are situated in Crawley Baptist Church, West Sussex

A few members of the church had an idea/vision, which included:

hands
praying hands
water
pouring water
waterfall
some text
praying figure(s)

In close cooperation with customer we worked together to achieve the desired outcome.
The work was very challenging as ideas had to be brought together into one entity. This was achieved by closely following the customer's original ideas and what was most appropriate for the church interior by choosing the right colour schemes and canvas sizes.

For pictures with hands, a photo shoot took place where church members were participants for modelling for the final design to make it more individual and relevant to their community.

Each triptych measures approx 60"x 60"
