Tear Mending

There are many  techniques and methods for the treatment of torn or very physically damaged painting canvases. 
Tears are locally mended, thread-by-thread or some other joining technique. 

Instead of re-lining (reinforcing an original canvas by adhering a new canvas to the reverse of the painting), we are adding strips around damaged tacking edge of a canvas (Strip lining).   

 

All materials are conservation grade and remain reversible over time
