Here is a little sneaky peak of the 'Faces Of Witney' artwork we framed up recently. It's an amazing photographic project by David Willoughby and the SOTA Gallery in Witney, which captured hundreds of images of local people, some wonderful characterful faces, beautifully photographed...were you one of them?
The artwork is currently on display at the SOTA Gallery, their details can be found...HERE.
Further information on the work of David Willoughby can be found...HERE.
Here's a very interesting piece we had in for framing last week. A photo by artist John Stezaker. The image is heading off for an exhibition and the framing needed to match the existing pieces that had already been framed, lucky we managed to find the same frame, so it was just a case of making an inner spacer to keep the glass away from the photo as there's no mount. This is a lovely way to frame photos, especially something as conceptual as this.

We've had a collection of amazing photos of the northern lights in to frame this week, these ones are 2 meters wide, so I've had lots of exercise shifting them about :-)
Another of the painted frames here, we've added a thin green line to this one, which highlights the colours in the print nicely. The artwork is by local artist Jacqueline Hopkins, your can find more details about her work here... http://www.hop-art.co.uk/
Jacqueline is exhibiting in this months Artweeks festival 18th to 27th May. Site 405 along with Photographer Lyn Turner. Pop along if you can :-)
