Customer review

Edge Fine Art, specialises in original British art
from the 20^th century and has been using Ironbridge Fine Arts & Framing for several
years. We would just like to say thank you to Jenny and Molly for their professionalism,
warmth, and most importantly, their patience.

Choosing the perfect frame to show off an original
piece of art can be a time consuming process but Jenny and Molly are always
extremely helpful, their expert knowledge and useful suggestions are much appreciated.

Good quality framing should enhance any picture and
help to conserve the work. By using Ironbridge
Fine Arts & Framing we always get the quality and attention to detail
that we need.

And of course it is always nice to meet people who are
as enthusiastic about art as we are. It is always a pleasure doing business
with them .

Etching using steel and Nitric Acid

Jen — Mon, 24 Oct 2011 16:15:43 +0000

Have you ever worked for ages on a drawing into hard ground – etched the plate for 45 minutes 3 water to 1 acid and wiped off the ground and nothing or hardly anything is there!!

Possible reasons – the obvious is that the acid has burnt itself out or that the steel is not Mild Steel – the less obvious is that your supplier has supplied you with Mild Steel that has a film on it. Unless it has happened to you before you would not be able to spot it! well that has just happened to me and I have been etching since I was 7 years old!! I will have to remove the film by polishing the surface and then starting again and making sure I buy proper mild steel next time!

World Heritage Site Festival 2005

Workshops and gallery open at Gunningarts, a very succesful event.

World Heritage Site Festival 2006

Same as last year, we opened up our studio’s and gallery, again the event was very succesful. we had 3 schools involved, Jenny went into each school and produced art work with a group of children, the final pieces were judged and marked and the winning school was given a free workshop by Jenny.

World Heritage Site Festival 2007

‘Art in the Gorge’ Exhibition’ we exhibited over 300 peaces of art work in the Merrythought teddy bear factory show room. this was an excellent exhibition, on the open night we had around 300 guests and many sales. We also offered workshops in pottery, printmaking and drawing for children and adults. we also had two art competitions for the children.

World Heritiage Festival 2008

‘Hands across the Gorge’ Jenny worked with 9 different schools from around Shropshire to create ‘The Big Picture’ Jenny and other artists drew the picture in rough line, blew it up to the grand size of 16 foot by 34 foot and had it printed in sections of 2 foot x 8 foot panels, those panels were then cut up into another 16 sections.
Jenny went into each school taking the panels with her for the children to paint and draw. After all the workshops were complete Jenny and other artists put the picture back together again. 256 children painted the above picture with the help of Jenny and other artists.

This final piece was put up in Coalbrookdale Museum of the Gorge and was placed on scaffolding. The whole project was supported by Ironbridge Fine Arts and Framing, Access scaffolding, Museum of the Gorge and the Arts Development team at Telford and Wrekin.

Gwilym attended Stafford College where he completed a Foundation course in Art & Design before going to University College Falmouth from where he graduated with a degree in Fine Art. He now works as a print-maker in the Wolverhampton area.

His work encompasses a wide range of print techniques and often explores the relationships between media, image and surface, often working on found surfaces and recycling old images.

Peter Neeld studied at various institutions. He is a full-time maker of things. He dislikes talking about these things for fear that the words will not be right, that he will sound pretentious and the things will fade.

Buy a thing and he will write you a story about remembrance. Buy two and he will promise not to do so and never darken your door again.
