New Picture Framing book also available by Andy Parks!!!!

I have also recently written a book all about picture framing. This book builds on the instructions written for the tools we sell but also goes into more detail on such topics as:

Choice of materials (probably the most important aspect of framing), mount cutting, frame cutting and assembly, cutting glass, fitting pictures, hanging pictures, mount decoration, oval mounts and frames, double mounts, multiple aperture mounts, framing needlework, framing 3-D artwork, stretching and framing oils, to list but a few of the sections of the book.

The book is written in an easy to follow, step by step approach. The book is also heavily illustrated with at least one photograph for each stage covered of every skill. If you are interested in buying a copy of this and would like some more information please contact me at info@petersfieldframing.co.uk
