Services

Everything is made to measure in the studio. Honest craftsmanship, quality materials chosen to suit your piece.

Custom Framing

Every piece is different, and every frame should be too. I build frames from scratch — choosing the right wood, finish, and profile to suit your artwork and your space.

  • Wood types include softwood and hardwood options
  • Frame styles range from classic to contemporary profiles
  • Every frame is hand-cut, joined, and finished in the studio
  • I work with pieces of all sizes — from small prints to large-scale canvases

Canvas Stretching

Rolled or unstretched canvases brought to life on custom-built stretcher bars. Properly tensioned, squared, and ready to hang — or frame.

  • Custom stretcher bars built to exact dimensions
  • Includes proper tensioning and squaring
  • Can be left as a gallery wrap or combined with a frame
  • Suitable for oil, acrylic, and printed canvases

Mountboard & Matting

The right mount makes all the difference.

  • Single, double, and multi-aperture mounts available
  • Conservation boards for valuable or delicate works
  • Custom colours to complement your artwork
  • Float mounting for artworks with deckled or torn edges

Glazing Options

From standard clear glass to UV-protective and non-reflective options — the right glazing keeps your work safe and looking its best.

  • Standard clear glass for general framing
  • UV-protective glass to guard against fading
  • Anti-reflective glass for bright or well-lit spaces
  • Acrylic glazing for large or fragile pieces that need lighter weight

Hand Finishing & Restoration

Treated finishes, paint effects, and careful restoration of existing frames. Bringing character to new builds and new life to old ones.

  • Hand-painted and treated finishes — wax, stain, lacquer
  • Colour matching and custom toning
  • Frame repair and restoration for damaged or antique pieces
  • Sympathetic restoration that respects original craftsmanship
