Hi All, I have a quick question: i have bought some canvases in the local shop recently and in the packaging at the back are these little pieces of wood called sketchers or stretchers or something...Does anyone know what i'm supposed to do with them? :D

Stretchers.
If canvas material goes slack you can slot them into the wee slot holes inside corners of wood frame.
I usually just leave it my framer to do that when he's framing, so leave them attached to the canvas if you're not going to do it yourself.
