Affordable Framing in 2010, by Deleted on Nov 18, 2009 14:35:04 GMT 1, Calling all Londoners...

Not a sales pitch, but a fact-finding mission, from which I hope some of you will benefit next year (NB. I checked approach with Silky before posting this).

Since being made redundant 9 months ago (my reward for years of hellish commuting, corporate politics and 16-hr days), I have been working at a Picture Framing Workshop, learning the basic skills of framing and conservation techniques as well as building up an understanding of options in respect of mounts, mouldings and glass (a much more rewarding experience).

As an art collector for many years (Banksy et al), I have spent a PHENOMENAL amount of money on framing, and in the last nine months I have established a number of things:

1) London framers are a rip-off
2) There are loads of great ways of framing pictures that I never new about
3) There must be an opportunity for a high quality, affordable framers in London

In the early part of 2010 I intend to set-up a picture framing workshop in East London to serve art collectors and artists in the London area with framing solutions which are:

1) HIGH QUALITY
2) REASONABLY PRICED
3) CREATED BY PEOPLE WHO ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE LONDON ART SCENE

To help me achieve this dream, I would be most gratefu if you could spend a couple of minutes (it really is only that long) answering this short questionnaire.

All Forum respondents will, naturally, be offered a significant discount on first orders.

Thanks in advance.
