I like to think of ETH as part of my team. Thank you ETH, you take my art a cut above. I cannot paint without these fantastic canvasses!"

"I loved the texture of your canvasses - it afforded me the ability to work with thick textures without losing the canvas's texture itself - which is very important to me. Also - the thicker frames allowed me to paint on the sides as well - in that way - frames aren't needed (too close to the actual artwork anyway) and they can actually hang without any frames."

Hannetjie de Clerq

"“I want to thank ETH for their detail attention...to make my canvases, you need patience and perfection.”"

Harry Erasmus

"We love the personal service we get from ETH! High quality canvas at great prices with great service is a winning recipe. Thanks ETH!"

Haydee Breganski

"I just have to give a huge shout out to Bronwyn Macklin and ETH Canvas in Cape Town. BEST canvases I've ever used, and believe me, I've tried them all. The surfaces are beautifully primed, so that no further priming is needed and the tooth is perfect for brush, and palette knife. The paint just glides and then literally bounces the colour off. Delivery to Jhb is not a problem either, and Bronwyn went out of her way to get my canvases to me urgent"

Heather Auer

"I only use these excellent quality, beautifully stretched canvases, which roll wonderfully when having to take off their stretchers to be sent overseas."

HEKE

"My works can be very expressive at times and use my hands and arms to apply paint in long wide and circular motions while pushing down on the canvas. This would usually result in me connecting with the wooden frame behind which has been extremely frustrating until I started using ETH canvases. The quality and design is next level and will continue to use them well into my old age"
