"Perfect Quality Framing, as usual. Still more to come"
These beautiful Oil Paintings have been lovingly framed with TouchWood Unique Oak Veneer Moulding and Invisible AR70 Artglass. They looked amazing and the customer was thrilled with the end result.

"Very grateful to receive David De Gea’s signed shirt recently. The lovely people at Ironbridge Fine Arts took care of the rest. They allowed me to request a design and kept me up to date throughout. The quality and finish is superb, befitting of the GOAT himself ? ?????"
Chris Smith Memorabilia Framing Feedback
"I have recently had some artwork scanned and printed by Ironbridge Fine Arts. The artwork was quite old and subdued but with Sarah's knowledge and advice, we were able to closely match the intensity and depth of the original colours. I am totally thrilled with the results, the quality of the prints is excellent and I have no hesitation in recommending Ironbridge Fine Arts"
John Walsh Ironbridge Fine Arts Review
"Thank you for the wonderful job you did on the frames. The pieces really stood out."
Artist Hannah Broadhead Framing Review
"It has been my absolute pleasure to use Ironbridge fine art and framing for all of my Giclee print production of all my Artworks for my shop. We have found the service provided especially by Sarah to be second to none. Always professional, polite, patient and ever willing to go the extra mile in order to ensure absolute quality and satisfaction in their tireless work to reproduce my artwork to the very best of their abilities." "This family run business is a shining example of what hard work, dedication to their craft and always striving for excellence can achieve. Thank you all, you are all held in high esteem in my book and I cannot recommend using them enough." Tony Morris ParArts

Etching press customers email after purchasing a No 2 press
As a practising professional artist of over 40 years standing, I wholeheartedly endorse and recommend the Iron bridge press I recently purchased.
All aspects of my buying process was supported by the excellent diligent staff, questions were answered quickly.
The offer of an on site demonstration was a huge plus and was very focussed around my requirements .
The press was easy to setup (excellent booklet) within an hour I had done a test print.
If you are thinking of buying a press, visit Ironbridge their unpressured approach will impress.

Email Testimonial about Ironbridge No1 Etching press.
Just to say thank you for being so nice to deal with - both the press and the spindle rollers are fab. So far, I've taken the press to a workshop with 10 people printing collagraphs and demonstrated printing a drypoint (attached) to Carlisle and Border Art Society and people coming to the print studio have used it to print and they really like it.

Just a quick note to say many thanks for the press! And the delivery worked out very smoothly - much appreciated.

"My updated press being installed by Dave Gunning and his assistant Nathan of Gunning Arts @shropshirefinearts @FineArtJen_Sar It’s been good for nearly 20 years but I’ve now updated it with a big wheel and a stand with lockable wheels for easier access to my easel when I’m oil painting! Great service and fabulous press #etching #printmaking Very happy".

Dear Sarah, Thank you so much for the hard work and patience in salvaging my precious Christmas Card that my Husband sent me 56 years ago. The card means so much to me and I can not express my gratitude to you. When I saw it I cried Tears of Joy. Thank you so much again, Joan Hart

Customer Email regarding No 1 Press
Thank you Jenny and Nathan so much for all your time and help yesterday setting up my press. I have been printing dry-points this morning and it is wonderful to know that given a decent plate and inking, that the press will deliver a good print! Before now, with the mangle, the printing bit was erratic and often disappointing, which is why I had stopped doing dry-points. This morning’s prints were excellent quality, so I will be encouraged to do more.

Etching Printing Press Review No 4
"I am so thrilled with my purchase of my Gunning Arts Etching Printing Press (No. 1). I thought long and hard before committing to invest in my own press and, having researched lots of different presses on the market, I am really glad that I went with the Gunning Arts press. It has been money well spent. I am still a beginner to the world of printmaking but I am very pleased with quality of my prints so far. The press is easy to set up, a dream to use and I am also glad I purchased the optional print stand on wheels too as it is handy to be able to move the press around easily when not in use and to have the shelf to store printing paper. The friendly customer service and helpful advice I received from Jenny at Ironbridge Framing before, during and after my purchase has been excellent throughout. Thanks Jenny!"

This is a real gem of a gallery displaying high-quality contemporary artwork that is beautifully framed and exhibited. This experience is further enhanced by meeting Jenny (usually covered in printing inks) who not only runs and owns the gallery but is one of its best exhibitors. Her enthusiasm and sheer love of art is intoxicating, informative and welcoming. With a special reference to printmaking the gallery exhibits many beautiful etchings by a variety of artists but most notable are those by Dave Gunning and Jenny herself. The mechanics of the printing process are clearly on display with Jenny's studio/workshop visible from the gallery space and Dave Gunning printing presses within the gallery space itself. Having experienced Jenny's teaching skills first hand I can recommend booking one to one sessions with her to really understand and appreciate this beautiful medium for creating artwork.It is always a pleasure to drop in and see what's being exhibited and receive a lovely welcome from Jenny.

Jenny at Ironbridge Framing made my Black and White photos stand out due to her eye for the way to present them with doulbe mounts and a plane frame. They are nearly good enough to exibit now! Cheers

Ironbridge Frames have just produced some stunning giclee prints for me from my original art work. The colour likeness and intensity is remarkable and the clarity of detail to the original superb. All this also at a very reasonable price. Sarah and Jenny offer very comprehensive advice, guidance and a service to be highly recommended.
Rob Leckie
Just collected my first digital portrait painting printed by @FineArtJenny In #ironbridge. The colours are absolutely stunning. Thank you.
Godfrey Clayton
The picture and frame look fantastic, the blue edging sets it off perfectly a great idea. Thanks very much for your efforts. I think if they had sold the artwork in that frame the price would have been double!
Mike Yates
I always bring my cross stitch here to be framed and now my daughter travels all the way from Bristol to have hers do with you too! Excellent service, always smiling and very, very helpful.
Lynn Cartman
Just to say how highly impressed I am with the professional and sensitive quality of the picture framing at the Ironbridge Art Gallery. Combined with this is the personable, thoughtful and friendly manner of the gallery staff.
A special place to experience.

A truely exceptional and passionate woman. Miss Gunning?s passion and inspirations can be clearly seen through out her collection. Whether your passion lies with Ironbridge or exceptional art, this is a ?must see? gallery.
Ian
Jenny not only provides excellent framing standards but a personal touch as well. Her framing business has grown in quality and perfection over the past 12 months and I would recommend her highly. Her own work shows talent and the gift of having the "eye" for creating the scene of your dreams come true. Her lace like effects within her print work is truly magical.
Elizabeth
Fantastic gallery and Jenny is really friendly and helpful, she takes the time to find out what it is your looking for makes suggestions and can even get work commissioned for you. Id highly recommend making the effort to visit and take a look, what ever art work your looking for Jenny wont disappoint
Alan
I can highly recommend this business. I am an artist who moved to the area two years ago. As a textile artist I have had plenty of unusual framing request's for Jenny to carry out and she has surpassed my expectations on every occasion - the frames are of the highest quality and the advice provided is always sound. I really trust Jenny's judgement and have always found her to be friendly, supportive and honest.
Dawn
I recently took advantage of a 'best of' member offer and had two of my collectors prints framed. The service was excellent and they even managed to repair a fine scratch on one of the prints for me. I would recommend this business to anyone looking for framing services.
Hollie
Jenny Gunning and her team are talented, enthusiastic and entrepreneurial - a joy to deal with.
