Services / Materials

The Fine Art Trade Guild specifies five levels of framing utilising different qualities of materials and framing techniques.

These levels range from Minimum through to Museum, a brief description of each is given below as it affects the cost and more importantly, the level of protection and conservation for the artwork.

Minimum	As the name suggests, framing to a minimum quality and budget. Only suitable for low value items. We do not frame at this level.
Budget Framing	For the budget conscious but not recommended for any items of value.
Commended Framing	For items of moderate commercial or sentimental value but using "standard" materials.
Conservation	Our preferred level of workmanship. All techniques are reversible and use conservation grade materials to protect the artwork.
Museum	The highest quality framing available but using expensive high grade materials for lifetime protection

Fabric Art, embroideries and textiles

We handle all types of textiles including cross-stitch embroideries, needlepoint, tapestries, silks, machine stitched embroideries, garments of all sorts including football/rugby shirts, christening gowns etc.

Each item is assessed individually to ensure that it is handled and framed correctly.

We can dry mount textiles where appropriate, using the correct standard of materials. This however is not recommended for valuable items.

We also offer a fully lacing service which squares, stretches, supports and protects the textiles for future generations.

Testimonials

"Dear Lyn and Hannah Just a quick note to say thank you for the marvellous work you have done with my "By the Sea" exhibition collection of digital photographs. The quality of framing is superb, and really brings the pictures to life!" Best wishes, Gwynne Penny
"I have had many of my Embroideries framed by Lyn of Fringe Arts, and I have, without exception, always been delighted with the results. I have also recommended Lyn to many of my friends who have been equally pleased with her work. Lyn is an inspired picture framer, whose many accolades are well deserved." Jean Julier The Japanese Embroiderers Guild	"Dear Lyn As usual I am extremely delighted with my latest batch of framing. The little Brussels Lace boat is wonderful and I find myself keep looking at it. You know that I have always liked your glass pictures and you have managed to incorporate that into this design - I'm thrilled. Will be back soon after more travels." Best Wishes Janice
