Stratford Playhouse, Warwickshire

The Stratford Playhouse has had a long and chequered history. It began in 1830 when two fine plaster stuccoed villa-type houses were built. In 1850 they were sold to a diocesan priest and the priest fitted them out as a catholic chapel, a library and a small school. In 1876, it became Stratford upon Avon Convalescence Home and in 1940; it became a private maternity hospital. In 1948 just after the advent of the NHS it was sold for £30, 000 to Stratford Corporation, an early ancestor of Stratford Town Trust. In 1985 it received a million pound makeover and was renamed Stratford Arts House. Today the Stratford Playhouse is an exciting and playful multi-purpose venue at the heart of  Stratford-upon-Avon offering a diverse range of cultural, arts and educational activities.

Our images are printed using premium K3 print technology on Hahnemühle Fine Art Torchon matt photographic paper. The special feature of the light white paper (285 g/m²) is its material: 100% alpha-cellulose defines the characteristically coarse texture. It gives your image a timeless, true-to-the-original charisma with a 3D effect. The hand-made style paper is highly water resistant and the use of premium K3 Epson prints ensures luminous colours and deep blacks for at least 100 years.

 

Textile print on stretcher frame – a fabric print using modern technology

 

Your image will be printed on fabric in razor-sharp quality and with brilliant colours and with its subtly textured surface; it transforms any photo into a unique gallery work that is full of life. During the thermal sublimation process, the colours are completely evaporated into the material. The resolution of up to 720 dpi and the enlarged CMYK colour spectrum allows accurate colour reproduction with clear contours. We only use textiles that are free of harmful substances and that have been awarded the internationally recognised Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification. Your image is mounted on the solid wood stretcher frame in its true form using only, high quality stretcher frames made of solid wood. The spruce wood comes from German suppliers and is sourced from sustainable forests. To give the stretcher frames permanent protection from losing shape, we triple reinforce the corners under the textile print using metal braces. When mounting on the stretcher frame we avoid using wedges – the frame is so stable that you won’t need to loosen or tighten it at a later stage and it will arrive ready to hang.
