Customer Reviews - Ironbridge Fine Arts & Framing

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.

I bought the studio press 2 from Ironbridge Fine Arts. Jenny is a wonderful person, spent time and showed me how to use the press and we did some etching prints too. Never to much trouble if you need to phone up with any questions either. I highly recommend Ironbridge Fine Arts.

Lino Workshop

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

I would throughly recommend the Pottery experience with Lizzy who is a superb teacher, patient, encouraging and skilled at developing the creative potential within the student.

We had lots of fun and laughter as well as creating pots that I felt proud of.

Review of Gunning Arts Etching Printing Press

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.

Katie

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. I d 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.
