Framing Guide

Framing Your Artwork

Choosing the right frame for your artwork depends on your taste, budget, and how well the frame complements both the piece and your home. Framing not only enhances the visual appeal of your artwork but also affects its protection and longevity. The key differences in framing options typically lie in the materials used and their impact on preserving the artwork. Ultimately, it’s a personal decision to ensure your piece looks stunning for years to come.

Seek Expert Assistance

Opting for a professional framer provides the highest level of care and protection for your artwork. If you’re located near the Surf Coast or Geelong, I highly recommend visiting The Frame Shop in Newtown and Artisan Framing in Portalington. For the best results, consider investing in non-reflective, UV-resistant glass. This type of glass not only enhances the artwork’s appearance but also ensures it remains well-preserved over time.

DIY Framing

For those who prefer to frame the artwork themselves, most of my pieces are designed to fit into standard, ready-made frames. Sizes such as A4, A3, A2, and A1 are widely available at many homeware stores. Retailers like Freedom Furniture, Adairs, and Country Road offer quality mid-range frame options. Additionally, your local framer may stock ready-made frames in these sizes.

Handling Tip: Fine art prints are delicate, so handle them with care. Always use clean hands or wear gloves, and hold the artwork by its outer edges to prevent smudges or damage.
