Fine Art Printing

Our fine art printing service utilises archival cotton rag paper and pigment inks to create museum-grade reproductions. We maintain precise colour consistency across limited edition series while preserving the original artwork's texture and vibrancy. Each print receives individual authentication certification for provenance and value retention.

Custom Picture Framing

We offer tailored framing solutions using conservation-grade materials to protect valuable artworks. Our workshop crafts custom mouldings in various finishes, including metal, to complement both traditional and contemporary pieces. Every frame balances aesthetic appeal with long-term preservation requirements for collectors and galleries.

Artwork Scanning

Our high-resolution scanning service documents original artworks with museum-grade accuracy.

The resulting files meet professional reproduction standards for exhibitions and archival purposes.

We use laminating and mounting techniques to ensure vibrant, long-lasting installations. Projects benefit from our attention to detail in material selection and dimensional accuracy.

It's a factory as the name suggests and I had a fantastic time which started with friendly security and bar staff, good vibes and good music. Had a chance to play some tipsy table tennis before leaving but the only thing I didn't do is get an alcoholic drink so can't comment on that.

What has happened to Horse Meat Disco? This event was unrecognizable from what it was just a few years ago. The original target audience was scarce. The venue also had serious crowd control issues, with the facilities difficult to access and chaoticall the more
problematic because they dont check for vaccination status.

Amazing decor, friendly and helpful door and bar staff. One security guard in particular, Salem, was especially helpful with a problem I faced.

Cash ain't king any more and British money don't talk any sense. That's the reality of going to gigs these days and I don't like it. I would have hated to miss the gig. I didn't because I stopped being a nice guy and did a 'Do you know who I am' speech.
And...because I am an actual star of the West End Stage and own an Olivier Award from 2004...it worked. Thanks to Jivgenija and Jasmine for sorting me out. Much appreciated. One star off for not feeding me. (Pie and mash was courtesy of White Post.)
The gig was excellent.
