Box framing for objects and keepsakes in Lewes
Some things don’t sit flat. I make deep box frames for objects, keepsakes and three dimensional pieces, built around each item so it is held securely and seen properly.
Medals, ceramics, found objects, tools, sporting memorabilia, children’s things and small sculptural works all need a different approach, and I work out how each piece should be supported before anything is made.
The frame itself is usually solid hardwood, made deep enough to give the object space and shadow, with bespoke supports to hold it securely and safely. UV protective or anti reflective glass can be added, depending on where it will hang.
Bring the piece into the studio at the Needlemakers and we can look at the options together.
❋ What I frame
I frame a wide range of work, including photographs, editioned prints, paintings, drawings, works on paper, textiles, family photographs, keepsakes, children’s artwork, found objects, fragile pieces and artworks for exhibitions, homes and interiors.
❋ Materials & finish
I work with carefully chosen materials, including hardwood mouldings, conservation mountboard, spacers, floating mounts, box frames and specialist glazing.
Where needed, I can advise on UV protective glass, anti-reflective glass, deeper frames, object supports and other options to help preserve and present the work properly.
The aim is always the same: to make something that feels quietly right for the piece.
