Fabric wall art making in Kenya

Fabric wall art with secure framing and original composition

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional interior-décor order: make two fabric wall-art panels on purchased 400 × 500 mm stretcher frames. Cut two 500 × 600 mm fabric pieces, leaving approximately 50 mm around each face for the actual frame-depth wrap and fastening. The buyer approves an original fabric composition and orientation. Scope includes finishing and protective packing, not installation above people, fire-rated acoustic treatment or claiming a printed design is a culturally authentic handmade textile.
