StickFactory

Two very different artworks to come through our framing studio recently. One is an editioned Ai Weiwei Dragon print, the other is a portrait of a clients late pet, by our good friend Columbine Hobart.

Both were framed with the same premium moulding, with different mountboards from the same premium black core range. The dragon was glazed with TruVue AR-UV92; an ultra-clear anti-reflective glass that blocks 92% of damaging UV light. The dog was glazed with TruVue Museum Glass; the top of the range ultra-clear anti-reflective glass that blocks 99% of damaging UV light. These photos were taken in our framing workshop, which has bright overhead lighting and white walls. It's normally impossible to photograph glazed artworks in here without some serious reflections going on, but with the TruVue glass, that's just not the case. The Museum Glass is so clear and non reflective, it's difficult to tell if it's even there!

StickFactory Stickfactory is an art & craft gallery. Hiding behind it is our workshop making furniture, stage scenery, sculpture, exhibition & display fittings.

A recent framing job we've done. A large piece like this deserves a large moulding. The client will be hanging the work in a period property that has been decorated in a bright and contemporary fashion, so we suggested this one, which we then custom painted in a specially mixed sunshine yellow.
The poster is a real film poster, (so not printed on heavy art paper) and had been folded, becoming wrinkled, torn, and damaged in the process. So the first thing we had to do was very carefully flatten it, and mount it to a stable background.
Once that was done, we could begin the work of building and painting the frame and then finally putting the piece in it.
Not by any means the largest frame we've ever made, but certainly not the smallest. Glamorous assistant for scale.
We're open to advise on your picture framing needs from 12:00noon-5:30pm Tuesdays-Saturdays.

Happy Fringe! 🎭 🎉 🤹
