Services
Custom picture framing
We create tailored framing solutions to enhance artwork using acid-free materials and conservation glass. Our process involves collaborative design consultations to match frames with the artwork's style and the client's space. With on-site craftsmanship, we ensure precision and quality for photos, paintings, and memorabilia.
Canvas stretching
Our canvas stretching service prepares artworks for display by mounting them on durable stretcher bars. This technique preserves the canvas's integrity while ensuring a smooth, professional finish. Ideal for paintings and large-format prints, this service complements both modern and traditional interiors.
Art gallery
Our gallery showcases limited edition prints and original works from Lowbrow, Pop Surrealism, and Street Art genres. Pieces are expertly framed to highlight their unique qualities, with rotating stock to feature local and international artists. We also collaborate with Canberra-based creators like Pink Flamingo Interiors.
Memorabilia framing
We preserve and present sports jerseys, medals, and heirlooms using shadow box frames and UV-protective glass. This service balances aesthetics with preservation, ensuring items like football jerseys or certificates are both protected and visually striking for home or office display.
Mat cutting
Using Gunter, our computerised mat cutter, we produce precise, decorative mats to enhance framed pieces. Mats add depth and focus while protecting artwork from glass contact. Available in various colours and textures, they complement both traditional and contemporary designs.
