There is something that is much more scarce, something rarer than ability. It is the ability to recognize ability. ♦ Elbert Hubbard

As a pivotal figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement, Hubbard was keenly aware of the plethora of talent around him. But beyond this, he possessed an uncanny knack for recognizing and nurturing potential. The Roycroft community, a hub for artisans, was a testament to Hubbard's vision of gathering and fostering talent. This quote underscores the invaluable gift of discernment: to recognize and appreciate talent in others, and in doing so, refine one's own artistic sensibilities.

Through his endeavors, Hubbard emphasized the importance of community and collaboration in the world of art. By acknowledging and celebrating the abilities of fellow artists, one not only broadens their artistic horizon but also creates an environment of mutual growth and inspiration, elevating the entire artistic community.

Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner

Stretching your own canvas is a great way to have complete command of the process from start to finish. Once your canvas is fully stretched, and if you notice any puckers or loosely tensioned areas, or perhaps even slight waves, you can always rely upon Tight'n'Up™ Liquid Canvas Retensioner to correct any inconsistencies in the canvas tension. You can be sprayed on the back of a canvas to repair most canvas tension issues.

With Tight'n'Up™, you can add tension to just a small area, or a large area. Simply spray it lightly on the back and brush it into the canvas, and within seconds, your canvas becomes tighter and stays tighter. The more you use, the tighter it gets.
