The Framers

Please note we are only open for collections and appoitments 16th-19th July. We have cover staff who will be happy to help, so please phone to check availability, thankyou!

We are proud to announce the first ever exhibition of the Birmingham Collage collective, running alongside Flatpack Film Festivalin and around the Custard Factory. Watch out for some workshops we will be running during the festival and exhibition too!

Valentine print launch! New set of one off mini dyptich prints by Lucy McLauchlan,  exhibition opening on Feb 14th at studio 4 gallery. 

Limited Set of Mono-Print Dyptichs:

30 x 40cm mounted, signed and numbered

Individual prints 12 x 17cm, stamped and dated on the reverse

4 colour, hand-pulled screen print

on acid free 270gsm paper.

These prints are hand-pulled, allowing Lucy to spontaneously position each layer and colour choice to produce an intuitively driven collection reflecting her mural painting process.

This technical experimentation combines multiple layers utilising mat inks against gloss inks, with fluorescent reds and metallic coppers creating a more textural set of mono-prints. 

Just to let you know we’re back from our Christmas break, usual opening hours and getting in with all your orders, thanks!

We are now listed with this really useful online resource

Workshop birmingham 

Workshop birmingham are building a free, online directory of manufacturers, material suppliers and fabricators in and around Birmingham. They are working in partnership with Make Works who have spent the last few years finding factories and building an amazing online resource for designers and makers in Scotland. They are the first Make Works region and hope to soon be joined by others from across the UK and beyond.

here’s more about make works

“We are factory finders, on a mission to make local manufacturing openly accessible. Our platform allows designers and makers* to find manufacturers, material suppliers and workshop facilities in their local area. Something of an open library for finding production. “

We’re back from our much needed break, normal service and hours resume, thanks for your patience!
