Fred Soto, formerly with Sarnoff's Art Supplies, has started his own custom stretching business. His canvas stretchers are designed not to warp in the Arizona climate and are much sturdier than what you usually find. He also sells foamcore covered with canvas or linen, light weight but an excellent painting surface. You can contact him at (520) 977-3738 or email him at Fred’s Custom Stretching.
