Lynn gains her GCF!

Press Release:

Croydon picture framer, Lynn MacAskill GCF, has qualified as a Guild Commended Framer, the professional qualification that distinguishes skilled framers from the semi-skilled and provides consumers with a recognised way to find excellent craftsmanship and service.  Only 981 framers have achieved this qualification, so Croydon residents are lucky to have one to hand at Fish Frames.

The Guild Commended Framers are awarded their qualification by the Fine Art Trade Guild, the international trade association for the industry.  Framing skills and knowledge are examined rigorously by an independent Guild appointed tester.

If you think that all there is to framing a picture is joining four pieces of wood think again!  An inadequate framing job can damage artwork, sometimes irreversibly.  Lynn has demonstrated that she understands the importance of conservation framing, the use of appropriate materials to avoid future problems but also the range of framing options her customers may require.  Unprofessional framing my allow unsightly stains to appear, or gradually cause the artwork to go brown and the paper to weaken; eventually a picture may literally fall apart.  These things can be avoided by choosing a qualified professional.  Knowledge and technology are improving all the time and precious and valuable pieces should be checked by a professional framer who can take remedial action to protect works to be kept for future enjoyment.  Lynn MacAskill GCF has proved herself able to advise on the framing of unusual objects and memorabilia.
