As a web and garden workshop based business we don't have a High Street shop window . However, we do have "Dave" our lovingly restored VW camper.
He's our rolling shop window and delivery van - so give us a wave if you see us out and about delivering finished picture frames or collecting supplies.

Virtual Framing - Visualisation
We have frame visualisation software which can show how your artwork would look in a variety of design combinations. This can help rule options in or out and reduce, or in times of Lockdown, eliminate the actual consultation time in our workshop. All we need is a decent photograph and the dimensions of your artwork and we can give you some options...just contact us with your details.
Flexible Appointments
We operate using an appointment booking system, from our Garden studio workshop - this ensures you get our undivided attention and limits the number of people at any one time ensuring everyone's safety.
Appointments last an hour but usually take around 20 -30 minutes as we run through the various options and guide you to a frame design that's perfect for your artwork and budget.
If you don't see a time or day that works for you on the system please give us a call as we can often do evening or weekend appointments.
