Workshop
Behind the Scenes
Framing is as much an art as a craft.
Each piece is approached individually to achieve a stunning visual presentation.
We are framers you can trust. Offering comprehensive, fully customised fine art and commercial framing services.
Made in England. All our frames are handcrafted in our workshop in Stoke Gabriel.
HOW IT WORKS
Receive a quote for a made to measure frame that is tailored to your budget.
To determine the price we need to measure your original artwork and use that information to calculate your price.
The frame moulding is one of the biggest factors in the price.
After the moulding is chosen, then the glass is next. We offer a very affordable 2mm float glass all the way to museum quality UV resistant optically clear glass. We only use the highest quality supplies to tape and pin our frames.
STAGE ONE
The first stage is the consultation process. We will walk you through all the choices that will affect the final presentation. How archival do you want to go? We can advise you on the choice of materials to protect your artwork.
We will help you choose the best style to match the decor of the frames final surroundings. We factor the surroundings in but also we will pair the frame to the artwork making sure the frame compliments the art.
STAGE TWO
The second stage is the build stage. We have come up with a quoting system that will guarantee a consistent and competitive quote each time. With over 400 mouldings we keep our inventory and pricing up to date. We give you the best, consistent, and most current pricing.
This is when your artwork is moved to our workshop and our technicians will prepare your artwork for framing.
This is the time that all the details of the order are checked and then the frame is built.
STAGE THREE
The third stage is the delivery. All our frames are wrapped and ready for transport. If more protective wrapping or a shipping box is required, that is no problem.
We will then walk you through the hanging process.
Our frames come ready to hang and we can offer you hanging advice to help you with any extra questions.
If you need any supplies for hanging let us know. We stock a selection of standard and heavy-duty hanging supplies.
We can offer you a comprehensive framing solution for your project
MOULDINGS
We have carefully chosen over 400 mouldings that have been sourced from all around the world. We only use quality materials. We do not claim to have more mouldings than any frame shop, but we have quality.
We remove the styles that do not meet our high standards and only show you the best. Want something we don’t have? No problem. We order from all the popular frame manufactures.
BACKING BOARD
We use Art-Bak® for our backing boards – The modern alternative to MDF! Strong, smooth and rigid . . . Art-Bak® benefits from a unique curve in the board, which will keep your artwork flatter in the frame. Buffering with Calcium Carbonate guarantees they remain pH Neutral for at least 300 years.
This is a versatile board with a traditional appearance. Now triple-walled for extra rigidity. 2.6mm thick.
