88 x 57 !

[Grumbling Mike]

I need to make a linen mat 88x57 and need a fabric supplier. Any help is appreciated, what would you use for the board, glue etc -acid free shadowbox please!
Thanks

If my regular fabric supplier for mats can not help, I would contact an art supply company that sells linen (canvas for stretched paintings). Utrecht is one company in the States.

As for a board for mounting the fabric, acrylic sheet might be your only choice. 96x60 and 120 x 60 are common oversized sheets for acrylic suppliers. I do not know of any paper based materials that would be available over 48" wide.

Another concept might be to use a fabric covered wood liner.
