Framing Your Artwork
Finished a painting you’re proud of?
I also run a specialist picture framing workshop, offering a wide range of framing options suitable for original artwork, prints and canvases.
Students often choose to have their finished paintings framed once their class or workshop is complete.
If you would like advice on framing your artwork, feel free to bring it along to class or get in touch to arrange a framing appointment.
