Business Framing

By

We have been framing for business (business framing) since the 80’s and each job is as important as the best work of art.  The same principles apply whether the job is a certificate, letter, photograph or a painting.  Campbelltown Framing Gallery is a conservation framer – this means our products (and attitudes) are acid free.

We know the certificate, award or letter of appreciation will hang in public view – during its life it may have thousands of admirers. It has to be right.  Acid free materials will ensure the award does not attract mould or yellowing.  The best materials give your awards the life they deserve. Far too often a cheap frame will leave the certificate looking unappreciated.

Individual awards have to be protected for generations. These treasured items mean a great deal to the recipient and their admirers.  Yes, a cheap frame can be bought at the $2 shop – but it shows little love for the recipient. A great frame will certainly add to the occasion.

Framing for Business – Special Challenges

Business and Corporate framing at Campbelltown Framing GalleryOver the years we have been asked to create special framing to house and show sentimental items.  Each of these are unique and take time in planning.  The positioning of each item in the frame or shadow box is important.  Then the right colours, frames and matboard all help to tell the story.

Our Business Framing experience means we can offer different solutions to varying challenges.  Our computer programs enable perfect cuts to the most complex of mats boards.

When framing for businesses we know the job is special.  That certificate may represent years of hard work and the right frame will help tell that story for years to come.

At Campbelltown Framing Gallery we are open six days a week 9 – 5.  We know the urgencies with Business Framing and we are able to adjust timetables to suit.

Commissioned Original Art for Sale

We are able to show various other styles and can arrange for commissioned work to suit your needs. Many of our arts are not framed – they are large acrylic or oils on canvas.

What is the Best Original Art to Buy

We are often asked to share our wisdom on the best work.  Art is a matter of taste – unless you are buying it as an investment.  Whether one artist is technically better than  another is of no concern to your eye – the piece of art that looks good to you should be your choice. Art is to be enjoyed and at any art show everyone has a different opinion.

If you enjoy your room’s décor, and need to finish it off with art, here’s a suggestion. Ask what feeling you want the room to convey. Perhaps you entertain in this room.  If this is the case, a lounge room or dining room could have smaller and larger art in clusters. Allow people space as the take in the art – a piece of art in a small hallway doesn’t allow that. A selection of paintings hanging close to the dining room table will be a point of focus for diners.  Do you want it to be controversial?  Romantic or perhaps peaceful?

Your choice of art can tell a lot about you.  How do you want others to react?

We have many styles of original art for sale.  Please come in to our studio and browse.

 

 

Learn Framing

By

Ed runs a informative one day hands-on learn framing course in Campbelltown. He has been framing since he was a young man.  And for the past decade has been operating the Campbelltown Framing Gallery with Cynthia.  Together they have much experience with all facets of framing including general framing of art works and prints.

Both Ed and Cynthia are on the tools which keeps them up to date with the latest and best framing techniques. They are sticklers for conservation framing and MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) never makes its way to the gallery. So best not to ask if you can use MDF as a backing board. Cynthia explains they do not use this type of board as it attracts moisture to itself which will ultimately destroy your picture.  As you learn framing you’ll come to understand this more and more.

Learn Framing – on the Weekend

Ed usually runs the Learn Framing course on a Sunday – usually for the full day. You will need to bring something to frame. Preferably a piece of art or an image that is dear to you. You will learn about:

  • cutting and choice of mat boards
  • conservation framing
  • mounting your work
  • cutting and joining
  • choosing the right picture frame mounting
  • gluing and stapling techniques
  • cutting and handling glass

 At Campbelltown Framing Gallery they take great pride in their work – which means you’ll probably learn from the best. Ed teaches using the old tools – tools that you might have at home. It is no use learning on the big fancy equipment as you’ll be unable to duplicate the process out of the studio.

Campbelltown Framing Gallery is located at 11/3 Hollylea Road, Leumeah. There is plenty of parking and the location is within walking distance to Leumeah Railway Station. There are many restaurants and fast foot outlets within walking distance also. Or bring your own lunch – they also have a coffee machine.

Many have doubted they could ever learn framing.  But Ed is a good teacher.
