Custom Stretched Canvas & Linen for Artists in Oakland

At Faultline Artspace, we build high-quality custom stretched canvas and linen for artists who need professional surfaces at any scale. Whether you're preparing for a gallery show, studio practice, or a large-format commission, we custom-fit poplar frames and hand-stretch premium materials with precise, machine-tight tension. Order small or oversized — up to 6.5 × 10 feet — with quick turnaround and local pickup in East Oakland.

Premium Materials Built for Professional Artists

We construct every frame from poplar, a strong, lightweight, wood from the southern United States that resists warping and keeps your painting surface stable over time. Artists can choose between #10 primed cotton canvas, high-grade linen, or a number of other fabrics. Linen offers superior strength, smoother texture, and better long-term durability, especially for detailed work and large-scale paintings.

Custom Sizes — From Small Studies to Large Installations

Our workshop can stretch canvas and linen surfaces easily up to 6.5 × 10 feet and over, using a pneumatic stretching system for consistent tension. Whether you're working on a series of small canvases or preparing a major exhibition piece, we’ll make it to your exact specifications.

Fast Turnaround for Bay Area Artists

We serve artists throughout the San Francisco Bay Area — Oakland, Berkeley, San Francisco, San Leandro, Alameda, and beyond. Most small orders are ready in a few days, depending on size and material. Pickup is available in Oakland at Faultline Artspace on 42nd Ave or Faultline Gallery at 3908 Macarthur Blvd, and local delivery can be arranged when needed.</p>
