CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

“We recently started working with Artisan Framing when one of our contemporary artists was preparing for an exhibition of 60 new paintings. The communication with Gary and his team throughout was excellent and all the works were delivered by the deadline and to a high standard. I’d happily recommend Artisan Framing to other artists and galleries.”

-Florence Batchelor, Head of Contemporary Art, Portland Gallery

“Artisan Framing did a wonderful job on the framing for my exhibition at the Portland Gallery. Gary, the owner, kept me informed at all times of the progress with the frames. They were all completed on time and looked wonderful. This is a new framing company, although Gary is very experienced, and I would thoroughly recommend them as bespoke framers, with much attention to detail at sensible prices.”

-Nicholas Hely Hutchinson, Artist

“I appreciate the tireless efforts of Gary, Darryl and the whole team at Artisan Framing. They make every effort to listen, interpret and translate my ideas into beautiful bespoke frames. As such, they are a huge part of my artistic and professional practice. Thank you.”

-Oliver Akers Douglas, Artist

“Alveston Gallery has had the pleasure of collaborating with Gary Young for many years. We’ve always valued Gary’s friendly demeanor and thoughtful insights. He approaches each painting with great care, taking the time to consider the perfect frame for each one. Working with Gary is always a smooth, professional, and rewarding experience - well worth the value. The name, Artisan Framing, couldn’t be better suited, as Gary is an artisan in his own right. We cannot recommend him highly enough and look forward to continuing our work with Artisan Framing.”
