One-on-one consultations

As artists we are highly creative, knowledgable, and experienced. This we bring to every consultation for every artwork that makes its way to our framing table so that we help you to best dress your work.

Sustainably sourced timber frames

We custom-make all frames using sustainable and locally sourced hardwood mouldings available in a range of contemporary styles, sizes and timber species.

We also offer a limited and always–changing range of mouldings made from various salvaged timbers that may otherwise have ended up as landfill. They are storied and unusual but limited in length and size, having been shaped by their former circumstances.

All finishes in-house by hand

As we work exclusively with raw timbers and undertake all finishes in house we are able to offer a wide range of finishes that can be customised as necessary or as desired.

Whether clear waxes, coloured stains, solids blacks and whites, or a custom paint job colour-matched to the work – we can do it and are happy to workshop ideas.

Matboards and papers

For works to be float- or window-mounted we offer an extensive range of mat boards in a variety of colours, tones, textures and metallic finishes that minimally provide a conservation standard of protection (100% cotton or alpha cellulose, acid- and lingin-free core, chemically stable or buffered to a neutral pH).

UV-filtering and non-reflective glazing options

When it comes to glazing, we recommend opting for glass or acrylic that will provide your artwork with substantial protection from damaging UV light. There are a few options that have varying UV blocking capabilities, anti-reflection qualities and anti-static qualities (particularly pertinent for acrylic). During your consult we will discuss these options and provide advice on the appropriate glazing to preserve your artwork.
