Tanji's Art Supplies Ltd was established in June 2000 as a retailer of fine art supplies. Quickly discovering there was a lack of good quality hand crafted artists surfaces available to professional artists in New Zealand, Tanji's established Masterart ltd to develop and manufacture high quality stretched canvases.
Tanji's Art Supplies remains the sole source of Masterart branded canvases and also sells stretcher bars, and smaller rolls of the same canvases we use for our own in-house production.
We are of the firm belief that society in general needs to reduce the amount of plastic that is being used and discarded. We consider that one of the best ways to achieve that goal is to not use it in the first place.
Some of our customers will have noticed that we have already removed plastic wrap from stretcher frames and stretcher bars, in addition we have an increasing number of customers that request that we do not plastic wrap their canvases. Our goal is to eliminate as much plastic from our processes as we can over the next few years. To achieve this we intend to:
