Custom framing for fine art, photographs, memorabilia and treasured objects.
The right frame should complement the piece and help protect it. Studio9Art combines practical advice, careful workmanship and a broad choice of materials to create framing suited to your artwork, space and budget.
We frame paintings, drawings, limited edition prints, photography and other original works.
Our consultations consider proportion, colour, depth and finish, together with how the artwork will be mounted and displayed. We can coordinate framing across a collection or develop an individual presentation for a single piece.
For valuable, fragile or irreplaceable pieces, framing materials and methods deserve particular attention.
We discuss suitable conservation boards, mounting methods, spacing and glazing, including UV filtering options where appropriate. Recommendations depend on the artwork’s medium, condition and display environment.
Conservation framing helps reduce avoidable risks to an artwork. Where a piece requires conservation treatment, we can discuss the need for specialist advice before framing.
We stretch canvases and create float frames for new and existing paintings.
A float frame leaves a considered space around the canvas, allowing its edges to remain visible while giving the work a defined presence on the wall.
We offer standard framing options and hand finished timber frames, with proportions and finishes selected to suit the painting.
Hand finishing gives us greater control over the final appearance of a frame.
We can develop natural, stained or painted finishes, adjusting the timber’s tone and surface to complement the work. During consultation, we will show you suitable options and explain how they affect the finished result and price.
Family photographs, children’s artwork, certificates, wedding keepsakes and sentimental pieces all deserve thoughtful presentation.
We can help you frame an individual item, arrange several pieces together or create a coordinated group for your home.
Some pieces need more than a conventional frame.
We can discuss suitable presentations for textiles, coins, ceramics, heirlooms and three dimensional objects, including deeper frames and shadow box displays.
We frame jerseys, guernseys, sporting equipment, medals, photographs and other memorabilia.
Each display is planned around the items, their condition and the story you want to present. Options can include accompanying photographs, captions and commemorative details.
We also work with clubs and organisations on team photographs, awards and heritage displays.
For exhibitions and larger projects, we provide coordinated framing advice and quotations across multiple works.
We work with artists, galleries, interior designers, architects and businesses, with collection, delivery and installation available by arrangement.
For government departments and public institutions, enquiries are welcome for contractual on site framing services within the institution.
Visit by appointment, or send photographs, dimensions and any timing requirements.
We discuss presentation, materials and budget, then prepare a quotation.
Once the design and quotation are approved, we agree on the work and expected completion timing.
Collect from the studio, or discuss delivery and installation.
You do not need to know which frame or glass to choose before contacting us. A photograph and a few details are enough to start.
