Kevin working on a large charcoal drawing by Alison Lambert

Our workshop is run by a team of six highly skilled artisan framers, each with a particular area of specialisation. Led by our senior technicians who have over 30 years’ experience.

In 2008, we relocated our workshop to new premises to accommodate expanding production and to allow us to undertake framing of very large artworks and to fulfil contract orders for multiple frames.

Located on a secure, gated private estate, our neighbours include joiners, spray painters, metal workers, parquet flooring specialists and other related services that allow us to work collaboratively for interior projects requiring services beyond picture framing.
