Getting there!

Saturday, March 16th, 2024

We are still busy setting up our workshop, there’s been a few issues and delays but we’re getting there, the gallery will take a little longer as we’ve found asbestos but will set up the workshop so we can complete orders and take new work in. Thank-you for your patience, our phone line isn’t up and running yet so please get in touch via email, info@theframers.net

Well that’s it, handed back the keys today, ending 30 years of The Framers at The Custard Factory. I’ve been there for about 23 years after joining Rob Martinez in my early 20’s. It’s going to be strange not lurking round Digbeth anymore. I feel like central Brum is becoming a lot harder for us independents these days but considering the relentless development, HS2, cost of living and BCC collapse it’s hardly surprising. Anyway, it’s been a privilege seeing Digbeth grow but most importantly so many good memories and friends over the years, thanks to all the kind goodbyes and of coarse your support! Here’s to the next chapter in #Stirchley we’re busy setting up the new workshop and gallery and hope to be open soon! Watch this space for updates….

We are closed for moving!

Saturday, February 17th, 2024

We are now closed for our big move to Stirchley, we hope to be up and running early March, will keep updates on here and socials. Please email any queries and we’ll get back in touch as soon as we can, see you on the other side!

Moving dates

Friday, February 9th, 2024

We will be closing to do our big move from the 19th February, until then we are still open for collections and framing. We hope to be up and running in the new space by March but will keep updating info. Our new address will be Hampton works, Twyning road, Stirchley, B30 2XZ

Big announcement, we’re moving!

Friday, January 12th, 2024

Big news!! We can finally officially announce that we’re moving in February. It’s been a long time coming and will be very strange to leave the Custard Factory, I think we’re actually the longest existing tenant as the framers was established in the early nineties so end of an era!
Our new home will be in the beautiful Hampton Works building on Twyning road in Stirchley, sharing a space with Mission print so will be convenient for your printing and framing needs.
Part of the reason for the move will be much easier access, out of the clean air zone and free parking, we will be a short walk from Bournville Station and the soon to be opened Pineapple road station. Will keep updates on here on progress, we will have to close for a few weeks and watch out for grand opening in March

Framers choice offer

Thursday, October 12th, 2023

Framers choice offer 

We always hold an amount of surplus stock frame moulding and mount board so we thought we could put this to good use. Bring your artwork in and leave it to us to choose and design a frame from our stock. 

We can offer our usual high quality bespoke hand made framing at a 30% reduced cost.

With over 20 years experience we like to think you can trust us to choose something you will be happy with, you can also always visit our gallery to have a look at our style and taste in framing. 

Due to the nature of our stock this will work best for around A3 or smaller though we may have enough to do the occasional larger piece. 

Pop by for a quote and ask for framers choice and grab a bargain. 

New website coming soon
