Finally got round to framing a photographic print by @liamrimmingtonphoto I treat myself to a while back. It’s been close framed in walnut with oak spline joints and a custom stained murky green oak spacer to distance the print from the glass.

Two recent frames for @rachel_artsmith . Both float mounted, these works are layered drawings across 3 sheets of paper that aren’t truly aligned. Floating them suits both their ethereal nature and shows them in their honest and intended form.

As much love and knowledge goes into the reverse of your frame as the face. There’s a number of features on the back (or lack of) that can be a real measure of how competent a framer is.

This lovely tiny print by @spindle_printer was brought in just before Christmas and was picked up at the @sheffieldprintfair held @sheffmuseums Millenium gallery. It was given a generous cream black core mount to give it space within the frame. The f

These digital drawings by @artsyamyillustrates are cram packed full of detail and are a real labour of love. The worlds she creates are so full of life and colour and I really dig the way she plays with perspective in them. Go check out her work and

2024, That’s a wrap! Frankly I clocked out of here over a week ago, but thought it was only fair to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to all of my customers throughout 2024. It means a great deal to me, not least because it keeps my beautiful family fe

Here’s a video detailing the process of making an extended deep box frame for a book sculpture I recently framed. The profiles were a tongue and groove combination from @roseandhollis. I had to go old school and pin the corners as it was too de

This cubist portrait painting got the hand-painted touch with a two tone frame using @farrowandball paints. A perfect accompaniment if I do say so myself.

A nice reeded oak frame, joined and ready for finishing..

This little delicate etching required something light and quiet. This aluminium wrap moulding from @lionpfs was just the ticket. Glazed with the very popular AR70 for low reflection. The client was pleased with how this one came out.

This cracking collage by @lucybookdestroyer was a pleasure to frame. Though I don’t know if I quite feel ready for that winter vibe in real life! 🥶

It was trimmed from the paper and float mounted. Framed in a limed maple and glazed with AR70

Glass technology has come along way in recent years and has really revolutionised the framing industry. There’s many different brands, but my go to is @artglass_by_groglass whose products I consider to be excellent. There are two primary advanc
