CIVIC Proframe and Canlab Photographics is a custom picture framing store that turns moments into permanent memories with frames that are creative and decorative or simply elegant. Owner Andrew Trousdell says family photos can be made into fantastic presents that look a million dollars. And that’s not all. He says there’s a lot to frame that people might not be aware of, such as medals and certificates. “Once we framed a horse’s tail for a girl whose horse had passed away,” says Andrew. Customers can watch the staff while they’re at work in the open-plan workshop. “Our maximum turnaround is usually two weeks so it’s not too late for Christmas,” says Andrew. Apart from framing, Civic Proframe and Canlab Photographics also showcases and sells a collection of limited-edition, contemporary pop art. Andrew describes the staff at Civic Proframe and Canlab Photographics as having artistic flair and great craftsmanship, especially since staff are sourced from the ANU School of Arts. “They have the perfect combination of aesthetic skills combined with manual skills,” Andrew says. “And our senior framer, Chris, has also been framing for 30 years. He’s one of the most respected in Canberra.”
