So, you've got a great new print or you have an original artwork that you would like to take pride of place in your home. Don't just go out and buy a frame, that would be a mistake. Take your time to have a good look at what you're framing. By doing this you can begin to understand what framing is actually about.
The art of picture framing is about the framing of the art, and it begins here - not with a frame. Many people go out and buy a frame before they've really taken account of the aesthetics of a particular frame and its final context. Framing is not like the Great British Bake Off: gather your ingredients, and then follow the recipe.

Having returned back from Egypt with out papyrus picture. We were looking to have this framed professionally. I found A and G Bespoke Framers and spoke to Alex, a really friendly guy who had a passion for his work.
We have picked up our framed picture today and have been blown away by the quality and attention to detail of the work, a real craftsman.
Thank you Alex.

I found Alex and Gary when searching for a local framers for a painting I had recently purchased. I cannot recommend them more. They allowed me time in the shop to contemplate the different framing options, they explained the different options, and even provided catalogues of different framing options if I wanted to see more. The overall quality was exemplary, and they have a true passion for their work. I'm thrilled to say I will be going back for more. Thank you. A*** Craftsmen.
