I enjoyed meeting those who visited my studio/workshop last weekend: the second Open Studios Hebrides weekend starts tomorrow, Thursday 29th July, and runs through to Saturday 31st. Call in at 22 Upper Coll anytime between 10am and 4pm to see some of my photography and where I carry out bespoke photography/art framing for customers.
There is also a chance to see the beautiful 1870s brass and mahogany camera formerly owned by Peter Liddle, farmer at Gress from the 1890s to 1929.
Abare wood framing of a set of four limited edition lino prints by artist Catriona Black, illustrating almost lost, or just excellent, Gaelic words collected by 19th-Century priest, poet and folklorist Fr. Allan in South Uist & Eriskay.
Catriona featured 42 such illuminated words in her book Sly Cooking, published by Acair in 2017.
Two Geoff Stear paintings I framed for a group exhibition curated by Hulabhaig are shown below.
The show, ‘A Work In Progress’ comprising work by four artists – Andrea Ingram, Geoff Stear, Stephan-Maria Aust and Andy Laffan – was exhibited in December 2019 in Timsgarry, Uig, Isle of Lewis and included painting, photography and sculpture.
A recent framing of a limited edition print by artist Mila Fürstová: the piece was float-mounted over archival board and set in a hand-made deep mahogany-stained wood box frame.
Please get in touch if you have artwork you want framed to the highest standard, whether it’s for exhibition, for your own walls or for giving as a gift.
An artwork in ink by Scottish artist Simon Fraser, overlaid with an archival antique white mount and simply framed in a narrow lime wood moulding with glass.
Please get in touch if you have artwork you want framed to the highest standard, whether it’s for exhibition, for your own walls or for giving as a gift.
