Framing
Emma can advise on framing, framers and also arrange for your artwork to be framed on a case-by-case basis.
Pick-up or delivery of the finished artwork will need to be arranged directly with the chosen framer.
Originals on paper
I suggest a float mount and (slightly) boxed frame. Any good framer will know exactly what to do here
If you want to go for a window mounted finish, you’ll need the artwork dry mounted – this can be risky as the original can occasionally get ruined in the process. The results can be wonderful because you’ll avoid the artwork or print paper looking wavy underneath the window mount, but it’s the risk you take.
Giclee prints
Same as above really but if you go for a window mount, you won’t need to dry mount the work as it’s already flatter than an original. With a window mount, I recommend a double mount (gives you an inner border) to really set the artwork off beautifully
