Rob Carter is our new in-house framer

Our next exhibition - "A Great Piece of Turf" by Kim Beck - includes lots and lots of work on paper. Today Rob basically set up a mini framers work station and framed over two dozen drawings!


First you assemble the frame bars..


and then you attach the work to a backing,


place the backing in the frame and seal it off.


just like that!
