Work in progress… works on paper by Ptolemy Mann. Just posted these to show how the colour works here, if you want to use coloured boards in the frame since they are rarely used to this level. I think the result is bold and I like it!

Sprayed black frame for George Shaw’s () magnificent lithograph The Disappointment printed by local Master Printer Lee Turner Lee Turner, we float mounted the print and so that every gorgeous grainy mark shows up we’ve got water white museum glass in the frame too. If you fancy one of these get in touch with Lee, 👌

It’s been so busy we nearly forgot to post pictures of this exquisite embroidery that took so very long for our client to complete, it will be a very precious family heirloom don’t you think?
Worth framing with water white 99% uv light filter glass, obviously not in contact with the surface and all those delicate threads. Our client stretched it herself, so it is mounted as a complete piece onto the same fabric as the backing. This is craftsmanship at its best, a work of love. Zoom in on all the little tiny stitches if you can.

Another massive frame….Paul says not to be encouraged!!! 💪🏋️

May 22nd is the opening night for degree show. It’s a fun night to celebrate with the final year students, see their work and check out any upcoming stars of the future. Wandering round all the studios seeing all the fresh work and ideas is so much fun and highly recommended. If you can’t make it on Friday night, 22nd May, then access continues for the following week.

Here’s a fantastic painting from the brilliant as a great example of the amazing amount of burgeoning talent and creativity a degree show can offer.

Viewing and excellent talk this evening by Fred Wyrley-Birch at for the sale of the late Brian Whitton’s incredible collection of the works of John Tunnard.
Viewing of this first phase of the collection is tomorrow morning and includes some incredibly important works relevant to the history of C.20th British art. Some spectacular pieces have been given to the Tate Gallery but Brian’s collection was the largest in the world so there is an excellent exhibition here worth seeing.

We worked with Brian Whitton for decades: he was an avid collector and supporter of contemporary artists as well as being an expert on John Tunnard and he understood the value of conservation and the protection offered to artworks by the correct framing environment.

Brian was an Emeritus Professor in Botany at , his main research work was on river systems and algae. He was such an interesting man and the works shown here are just some of the frames we made for his Tunnards in the current auction which can be viewed online on the Anderson & Garland website.

This week we are mostly obsessing about brutalism and concrete buildings. We’ve always been fans of mid C.20th architecture and our past view from the Newcastle premises was the fantastic Civic Centre, but we’ve been sparked into it a side quest to notice more locally, especially in Washington and Birtley. All because of this painting and looking at further work by
Anyway, just to say we are also pleased George chose this wenge tray frame, it’s bold with a slight nod to a mid century feel.
