Funerary Hatchments
I have created many Hatchments which hang in churches, chapels and halls both here and abroad. They are constructed using two methods: A Linen Canvas stretched over a support in traditional style or Linen Canvas glued using Archival PVA or Rabbit skin glue bonded to a Marine ply backboard, they are then coated in Gesso and painted in oils.The latter method allows the Hatchment to withstand the cold and damp conditions found in many Churches.
