Process
From first look to finished frame
Every project moves through similar stages — with room to pause when a piece needs more conversation.
- Looking — We study scale, color, and where the work will hang.
- Choosing — Mat widths, moulding samples, and glazing sit beside the art.
- Measuring — Openings, overlaps, and stack depth are marked before cutting.
- Assembling — Mats are joined, glass cleaned, and corners set at the bench.
- Finishing — Backing, hanging hardware, and a final check in daylight.
Hands at the bench
Cutting, joining, and fitting happen at the bench in the studio — measuring again as corners come together.
Timing depends on complexity and how many rounds of fitting the piece needs. We outline the sequence when we talk through your project.
