Studio Art Cloth

Studio Art Cloth (70% polyester 30% cotton) is a heavier canvas medium excellent for floor cloths, tote bags, murals, window shades, fiber art collage surface and more. It requires no priming when used with acrylic paint, pigments, glazes, or when collaging with adhesive.

  • soft & durable
  • triple laminated
  • non-rolling canvas, that does not curl
  • great for floor cloths & murals
  • when cut, does not fray
  • requires no priming when used with acrylic paint, pigments, and/or glazes, or when collaging with adhesive
  • sews up beautifully and can be printed on, using most inkjet printers
    • Print design right to the fabric, and then paint it afterwards
  • Hand wash on a very gentle cycle and air dry

Studio Art Cloth is so easy to use that anyone, experts and novices alike, can play designer and see results. Create projects for children who love hands on activity and tap into their own creativity and imagination.

Specialized Uses for Studio Art Cloth

As a floor cloth, mural, tote bags, & other craft uses:

  • Does not fray when cut
  • Soft enough to hole punch
  • Accepts fabric glue and tape
  • No hemming necessary
  • Reversible, design on both sides
  • Cuts out
  • Plyable
  • Excellent body for totes and purses

As a window shade, curtain, or screen:

  • Eliminates light
  • Insulates against heat and cold
  • Provides privacy by preventing silhouettes
  • Acts as a noise barrier

Care Instructions:

When sealed with paint or adhesive, gently clean with soap and water.

When unsealed:

  • DO NOT MACHINE WASH!
  • If spot cleaning of fabric becomes necessary, the best method for removing the stain is to gently brush the stain off with a soft cloth.
  • Be careful to avoid pressing stain in to the fabric, as this may make stain removal more difficult.
  • If simple brushing does not remove the stain, then a small amount of colorless cleaner (such as window cleaner) may be gently applied and then blotted to remove.
  • Do not scrub stain. This may press stain further into fabric and make removal more difficult.
  • If ironing is necessary, cover the fabric with a PRESSING CLOTH. The iron setting recommended is "Acrylic/Silk" or a temperature of 121°C / 250°F.

Finishing Suggestions for Floor Cloth:

  • Let the floor cloth paint dry thoroughly, this usually is 24 hours.
  • Make sure you let each coat of sealer dry before you paint the next coat.
  • Brush 4 to 6 coats of sealer over front of floor cloth.
  • Brush two coats of sealer onto the backside of the floor cloth.
  • Let dry thoroughly.
