Services
Custom Picture Framing
Studio Craft creates bespoke picture frames tailored to individual artworks. Our process combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design techniques to ensure optimal presentation and preservation. Clients receive personalised consultations to select materials, finishes, and styles that complement their pieces while maintaining structural integrity.
Perspex Box Frames
We specialise in hand-crafted perspex box frames that protect delicate artworks while providing a sleek, contemporary finish. These frames use UV-protective acrylic to prevent fading and are ideal for certificates, prints, and three-dimensional objects requiring dust resistance and enhanced visual clarity.
Canvas Gap Frames
Our canvas gap frames preserve stretched canvases while creating a professional border between the artwork and frame. This technique prevents warping and ensures long-term durability, particularly for oversized pieces requiring structural support without compromising aesthetic appeal.
Frame Repairs
Studio Craft offers comprehensive frame repair services, including glass replacement, matting upgrades to acid-free conservation materials, and structural restoration. We assess each damaged frame to determine whether repair or complete re-framing best preserves the artwork's value and appearance.
Corporate Framing
We collaborate with architects and interior designers on large-scale corporate projects, including hospitals, hotels, and aged care facilities. Our team handles bulk framing requirements while maintaining strict quality standards, as demonstrated through past work with Cabrini Hospital and Hilton Hotel.
