What Is a Print?
A print is an original work of art created by transferring an image from a prepared surface — such as a plate, block, or stone — onto paper. Unlike reproductions, each print is made by hand under the artist’s control, and each impression carries subtle variations that make it unique. We explain print types and how they are made.
The Beauty of Wood: Grain, Character & Craft
While each wood type has recognisable traits, the natural grain is never identical — every length of timbre and every cut, is one of a kind. That’s part of what makes bespoke framing so special: each frame becomes a unique object, shaped by both the woodworker and nature.
How to hang your frame at home
Whether you have one large (and heavy) statement artwork, or you’re hanging a selection of smaller pieces gallery style, we’re often asked the best way to hang a framed artwork securely to your walls at home. Here’s our step-by-step guide on our preferred method of hanging large frames - split batten hanging.
Giving Wood a Second Life: Our Partnership with Woodwork for Wellbeing
For some time now, we’ve been donating our excess wood to Woodwork for Wellbeing — a brilliant local charity based in Bethnal Green. They run relaxed, inclusive woodworking sessions designed to support mental health, reduce isolation, and bring people together through creativity and craftsmanship.
FRAME at the Museums + Heritage Show 2025
We were delighted to exhibit at this year’s Museums + Heritage Show—our first time participating in this leading event for the museums galleries and heritage sector. Sharing space with many respected industry professionals, suppliers, and longstanding collaborators made it a truly memorable experience.
Japanese conservation techniques part 2 - A Journey into the Traditional Japanese Craft of Washi Paper Making
In the second instalment of our Japanese conservation series, Frame London’s own Leina Taylor travels to the serene northern region of Japan, exploring the materials that shape our daily work at the forefront of conservation framing. Nestled at the foot of Mount Gassan lies a small papermaking studio, home to the craft of making Gassan washi—a traditional Japanese paper known for its strength, flexibility, and durability.
Japanese conservation techniques - from Northern Japan to North London
After completing an MA in the conservation of works on paper while working at Frame London, Leina Taylor embarked on a 5-month internship focused on Japanese paintings conservation in Yamagata—a small city in the northern Tohoku region of Japan. During her time there, she deepened her understanding of traditional materials and techniques, as well as the nuanced differences in conservation philosophies between the UK and Japan.

Framing Linder: 'Danger Came Smiling'
We have framed countless Linder photomontages over the years and we were thrilled to be able to frame her photomontages for Danger Came Smiling. The works were mounted within thick museum mounts and housed in a combination of simple black wooden frames and Linder’s signature aluminium frames in black, gold and silver with 99% UV protective Artglass.
