Framing Review from Jane Butler

“I recently completed a project that has been in the works for a number of years. A collection of antique county maps, some already framed and in need of re-framing and some that had yet to be framed. Given the nature of the job, I don’t think two maps are the same size, and I...

The Ironbridge press is a beauty for monotypes/mono prints, photo-etchings- sensitive to subtle changes of pressure – great when ghosting a plate on Japanese paper ( un-dampened ).

Rob Leckie

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.

Godfrey Clayton

Just collected my first digital portrait painting printed by @FineArtJenny In #ironbridge. The colours are absolutely stunning. Thank you.

Mike Yates

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!

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.
