Getting all framed up for the show (thanks @georgetheframer) a dozen pieces in total with a few little extras... 3 weeks to go and crossing all fingers and toes that there won’t be another lockdown!

Creating some oak lighting surrounds for our friends @trewern_arms in Nevern.
It's a simple job, but all part of small businesses supporting each other and paying the bills while the doors are closed.

So here's the result. This beautiful original of Newport estuary by @alicetennantgallery.
As per Conservation standards, the back has been finished with an acid free board sealed with gummed tape. Wool bumpers ensure free airflow around the back of the frame and protect the decor. Due to the weight of the piece, instead of cord, we have used strap hangers, providing strong hanging points without the stresses that D rings and cord can create on the frame.

When fillets and spacers are used in the design, it's sometimes necessary to increase the depth of the moulding rebate to accomodate the frame package.

When the work is likely to come into contact with wood, fitting a frame sealing tape to the rebate will prevent this and create a barrier.
In conservation framing, protecting the work is paramount. Lots of the work we do inside the frame isn't seen again for many years. The intention is that in 20-30 years the artwork will be in the same condition as when we framed it.

It's amazing that something designed to be so ephemeral, has survived the last 124 years! One of a hundred printed, it's battered and abused but hopefully with some love and quality materials, it will survive a few more generations 😊

It's a 2020 lockdown piece, but still feels relevant somehow?
