Traditional Canvas Prep Demo: Stretching & Rabbit Skin Glue
Ellen Lyons
Sept 15, 2026
10am - 1pm
Watch a canvas built from scratch the way painters did for centuries. In this demo, the instructor will stretch raw canvas over stretcher bars and seals it with rabbit skin glue, the traditional animal-collagen size used long before commercial primers existed.
You'll see the full process, from mounting and stretching the fabric to folding the corners and preparing and applying the glue, along with why sizing matters.
