| ~Framing Memories~ |
Although it has been said that memory is a fleeting thing, here at Acorn Arts we are working to dispel that notion.
We would like to show our customers the joy of taking an important moment, event or just a piece of memorabilia in their lives and putting it on display for friends and family to see.
Since most people don't really know what they want or what they like until they see it you will find lots of samples on our website which may generate new ideas to take even the simplest object and turn it into a real source of pride.
Everyone has some object that is precious to them, from medals to dance programmes, from wedding bouqets to school photographs, from antique and collectable plates to your Grandmother's needlework, from sea shells to rocks and butterfly collections.
Too often, these precious items are hidden away in drawers or boxes, confined to a dark corner of a cupboard.
In our rapidly changing world, its very reassuring to know that traditional methods are still alive and thriving.

| ~Quality and Range~ |
|
At Acorn Arts you can choose from one of the largest range of top quality mouldings available in Yorkshire, designed to complement traditional and contemporary art.
We also have a superb collection of high quality mountboards, from standard through to our own special hand finished designs.
Because all our frames are assembled to the highest standards of traditional craftmanship in our own workshops, we have the ability to tailor specifically to customers requirements.
So if you you looking for that something with a difference - Just Ask!

| ~The Commended Framer Award~ |
|
Acorn Arts framing staff are some of the first picture framers in the country to qualify as Guild Commended Framers, issued by The Fine Art Trade Guild after passing a gruelling test for quality of workmanship and knowledge of framing.

| ~The Art of Framing~ |
Many people think that making a picture frame just involves joining four pieces of wood - they don't realise that bad framing can damage their artwork, sometimes irretrievably. If poor quality, acid-laden materials are used the picture will go brown and weaken, however materials used by our framers are guaranteed to protect items that you value from damage or decay.
This is why Acorn Arts can offer a complete conservation framing package.
|
| ~Conservation Framing~ |
|
Conservation framing consists of using rigidly specified materials and the correct assembly procedure to produce a clean environment for the work of art concerned. It must, above all, be protected from heat, humidity, pollution, dust and the acid inherent in most paper products.
Most critical of all is the material closest to the work of art which must be chemically stable and completely acid-free.
So you can be sure that our approach to the display and care of your valuable work of art is of consistent professionalism.
