About Schalk’s Canvasses

Premium Artist Canvases Manufactured in Somerset West

Founded in 2008 by Schalk Kruger, Schalk’s Canvasses has become a trusted supplier of high-quality artist canvases for artists, galleries, schools, studios, and creative professionals across South Africa. Based in Somerset West, near Cape Town, we are passionate about producing premium handcrafted canvases that provide the perfect foundation for artistic expression.

For more than 15 years, we have built our reputation on quality workmanship, reliable service, competitive pricing, and fast turnaround times. Every canvas is carefully handcrafted and stretched to order, ensuring consistent quality and attention to detail.

Quality Materials for Exceptional Results

All our stretched artist canvases are manufactured using durable 10-ounce (410g) canvas material and are professionally double primed with a high-quality acrylic primer. This creates a smooth, stable surface that is ideal for acrylic, oil, and mixed-media artwork.

Our canvases are available in both 2.2cm and 4.4cm deep-edge profiles and can be ordered in a wide range of standard and custom sizes to suit any project.

Fast Turnaround and Competitive Pricing

We understand that artists often work to deadlines. That’s why most canvas orders can be manufactured within 48 hours, depending on size and quantity. We also keep a selection of stock available at our Somerset West workshop for immediate collection.

At Schalk’s Canvasses, we are committed to offering some of the best-value artist canvases in the Western Cape without compromising on quality.

Serving Artists Across South Africa

While our workshop is based in Somerset West, we proudly supply artists throughout South Africa. We offer reliable nationwide courier delivery, making it easy for customers outside the Western Cape to access our premium stretched canvases.

Whether you need a single custom canvas, a bulk order for a gallery, or canvases for an art school or studio, Schalk’s Canvasses is ready to assist.
