THE FRAMING LOT IS NOW 4 YEARS OLD!

On 26th June we celebrated 4 years of The Framing Lot.  Our thanks to all our customers who have supported us during that time and we look forward to working with you for many more years to come.  Setting up on our own was a bit of a daunting thought, but we have been delighted by the welcome we have been given and the support we have received.

Part of our plans around our birthday was to finish the changes we have been making to the workshop.  These are almost finished now, with one or two minor tweaks to go.  We have increased our range of mouldings on display, improved the customer serving area, freshened up the gallery, and totally rebuilt the framing workshop.  It has been a lot of hard work, but there has been a lot of positive reaction to it which has been lovely. 

To compliment these changes we have also invested in our new computerized mountcutter.  Our new toy has now arrived and has been kept very busy over the past few weeks.  We are now able to offer a much wider range of mount apertures to suit individual pictures.  If you have something special you would like to put together then please feel free to pop in for a chat so we can talk you through all the new options now available.

The last four years has been a lot of fun, meeting new people and getting more involved in the local art community.  We are looking forward to the years ahead.

BRIAN JONES PRINTS - EXCLUSIVE STOCKIST

We have been stocking Brian Jones originals for some time now and we are now delighted to announce that Brian has started producing prints from his fantastic abstract artwork of local scenes.  We currently have two prints in stock either as mounted or framed - the first is of Shaldon bridge from the back beach direction and the second is from the water showing Teignmouth back beach.  Both are bright and vibrant giclee prints (printed locally in Shaldon) and are available at £50 each mounted or £90 each framed.  Brian has been a very popular artist for some time and this is the first opportunity to purchase one of his prints, exclusively available from The Framing Lot.

CLINTON BANBURY LIMITED EDITION PRINTS

Clinton Banbury has a style reminiscent of the illustrations by Quentin Blake in the Roald Dhal books.  These fantastic Limited Edition prints are available covering a wide variety of subjects - with something suitable for almost everyone.  Reasonably priced at £25 for a mounted print, they are sure to go quickly.

ALEX CLARK CARDS AND PRINTS

We continue to stock cards and open edition prints by Alex Clark.  These whimsical illustrations are an absolute delight and with prices of £1.75 for the cards and £5 for the prints, they are a great bargain too.  We have a range of frames to suit these prints as well and if purchased together you get an extra 10% off the total price.

CUSTOMER PARKING

We would remind all our customers that we have plenty of off road parking with customer parking spaces at the very front of the building and also directly in front of our entrance doors.  All areas are clearly marked with our customer parking signs.  We would ask everyone who visits us to please be considerate of other building users and keep within our customer parking areas or in the marked bays on the main road on the estate.  Many thanks for your help with this and if you do have a problem parking then please pull up outside our main doors and we will do our best to help you.

MEDALS, SPORTS SHIRTS AND MEMORABILIA

We are getting more and more enquiries about framing medals, sports shirts and other memorabilia.  We were delighted recently to have framed a number of sets of medals for the local branch of the British Legion and of course we continue to be the framers for Exeter City Football Club for their sports shirts and prints and posters.  The recent Muse concert in Teignmouth also saw a rush of framing jobs and we were proud to make each one a unique souvenir of the show.  We are always happy to quote for this type of framing - so please feel free to pop in for a chat.  We can also show the specialist Mirogard glass that helps to take this type of framing to a new level - there really doesn't look as if there is any glass in the frame!
