Bespoke Picture Framing in Suffolk

When it comes to framing we can usually find a solution for whatever item you are looking to frame.

A large part of our work is around the reframing of family favourites, photos, prints, watercolours, oils and acrylics on board or stretchers.

We have seen a number of interesting items come through the door which have at times presented a challenge, but at least seen our customers leave happy. Items that we hve been asked to frame include; a doll, flag, 45' vinyl single, medals, army jackets, football shirts, flags, maps and so on.

We use conservation materials during our process which protects our customers items. We usually frame with 2mm clear floating glass but if the item or the customer asks for it we can supply and fit either non-reflective or ultra-violet protection glass.

We also custom build mirrors using either plain or bevelled mirror glass. 

For customers that require it we are happy to cut mountboard and glass to order.

We are also pleased to offer a photo restoration service for photos up to A4 size.

Q: Can I park easily at the shop?

A: The shop does not have parking but is within very easy walking distance of both Waitrose and Tesco, both of which offer two hours free parking.

Q: Can you clean and repair pictures?

A: Yes we can, we can clean most items that sit behind glass. We will also ensure the frame is safe to hang and where needed replace the hooks and cord. Unfortunately we do not currently offer a cleaning or restoration service for canvas work.

Q: Do you sell ready made picture frames?

A: Yes, we have a range of ready made photo frames and clip frames.

Q: I don't know much about Saxmundham, is it worth a visit?

A: Saxmundham is a thriving market town with a huge range of hard working individual shops and businesses as well as being blessed by two major supermarkets. We are well placed for the coastal towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold as well as the very popular Snape Maltings www.snapemaltings.co.uk but dont take my word for it, come and see for yourself.

We are very fortunate to be located on a corner at a set of traffic lights, this enables our windows to become an excellent sales opportunity for art.

We offer local artists the opportunity to display their work in the window and within the shop. There is not a charge for being promoted at Emma K's but we do take a very reasonable 30% fee on items sold.

We are often asked what type of art sells. This is a difficult one as we have sold a wide range of different pieces using different media. I always suggest that we are between two major tourist destinations and our sales quite often come from customers up for the day or on holiday and like to take a little something away. Therefore a local landmark such as the house in the clouds at Thorpeness, a boat on the beach at Aldeburgh, something that customers will remember from their day out will generally always do well.

Artists that we have framed for and have promoted at Emma K's can be found with their contact details in the preceding column "Friends of Emma K Framing"
