About us
About us
'Peter's Art' - Our name stands for what I stand for: To pass on my experience, especially in covering stretcher frames, to professional artists like you.
My aspiration has always been this: A frame should be tightly stretched like a drum.
Almost obsessively I went through many years of testing different fabrics and weaves, developing an understanding of the widest variety of materials, and expanding my knowledge of stretching frames of all kinds to ultimately achieve the best possible covering for your needs:
A canvas that is less prone to warping and resistant to all painting techniques.
In my business 'Peter's Art' that opened in 2006, I can now let off steam and offer you my way of stretching canvases at a fair price. Since 2007, we reliably have produced, stretched and primed in our own workshop only 200 meters from the shop.
Our fabric space that has been established in 2013 offers you various profiles of stretcher bars and several types of fabric. Choose between coarse, medium, fine, primed or unprimed, cotton, linen, jute or polyester.

Similar to our fabric room, we will set up a special brush room in the next few months to give you even more choice for your creative ideas.
Visit us in our premises in Gottschedstraße 26 in Berlin and delve among our extensive assortment!
You probably won’t need much time to find me there. Often you’ll find me in action, packing or unpacking boxes, tailoring fabric or in consultation with one of our many regulars. Because that’s what I never wanted, to sit behind an office desk all day long.
