What an absolutly wonderful experience for myself and my artist daughter. Keith is an artist himself and as we framed four pieces of my daughters artwork we were privileged to hear his journey to artist and photographer. Which incidentally is my daughters college focus at the moment. The studio is a lovely space with art work to peruse and buy too. We cannot thank Keith enough for allowing us to stop and meander through the creative side of life for just a while... Very much missed during the last isolating year and a half. Thank you keith for being so very kind and generous with your expertise

My daughter had 4 pieces of artwork to frame and we found Keith's studio. What a fabulous place and what a lovely time we had meandering through both Keith's and my daughters artistic journeys. Keith enhanced her work beautifully with his talented mounting framing , an art in itself. We were afford a small window of space to just talk art, wonderful after the last 18 months of isolation. Keith was so supportive to my daughters college art choices and fanned her desire to be an artist and a conservator. Thanks Keith your a very kind and knowledgeable person. Would reccomend visiting keith studio

Absolutely great. Only recently discovered . Wish I had found him sooner. Great work. Really wants the customer to be happy. Nice selection of frames and can also make a frame for you if you cannot find something that takes your fancy. Also very patient. I took forever working out what I wanted with my three pictures.

I cannot recommend Keith highly enough. It was a truly amazing experience having my pictures framed by Keith. I initially contacted Keith because of other people's first class reviews and also because he was local; although I would still use Keith now, even if I lived at the other end of the country! Keith is a very friendly and charming person. His passion and talent for picture frame making is genuinely obvious through his expertise help and time he spends to choose the right frame, mount and glass to best set of your artwork. His premises are very smart and professional, and the welcome is warm
