I'm a landscape artist and Sarah at Fellows Framing has framed many paintings for me over the past few years. I've always been extremely happy with the quality of her work. She is very experienced and helpful and her prices are competitive. I would thoroughly recommend Fellows Framing if you want a reliable service and excellent results.

I have had several items framed by Sarah at Fellows Framing, and the standard of framing and service provided is exceptional. Sarah's passion for preserving artwork and artifacts so that they can be enjoyed for many years to come, is evident, and her craftsmanship is superb. Highly recommended.

Sarah created a frame as a gift for my sons 18th birthday to display a 1st XI cricket cap and colours he had been awarded at school. She was really helpful in suggesting a layout and design which worked very well. My son was delighted with the end result which was carefully constructed and beautifully presented. It is a great keepsake to remind him of his achievements.

Sarah has beautifully framed many of my original Lisa Dear Artworks over the last 3 years and also when I have a completed a commission I always recommend Sarah to frame it for my customers, as no one frames box canvases better.

Sarah's advice and choice of materials for your artwork is wonderful, from frames to hand painted mounts. The craftsmanship is exact and beautiful. Here is a large collage framed by Sarah with especially painted mounting board. Love the elegant frame too.

I'm a busy, professional artist and have used Sarah Trenchard (Fellows Framing) many times over the past 3-4 years. She is super-talented, reasonably priced, incredibly helpful and always goes "above and beyond". I wouldn't take my work anywhere else to be framed and I honestly can't recommend her highly enough. Thanks Sarah!
