FREE Webinar: Slips, Fillets and Spacers – 27 November 10:00 am (GMT)
In a few of my recent newsletters, I’ve talked about how adding a slip can really elevate a framed piece. Since then, I’ve had some questions about how to do this. So I have put together a free webinar to explore the topic. Join me.
Friday 27 November, 10:00 am | Register here
In this live webinar, I’ll show you the different styles and shapes of slips and fillets, how they can enhance a framed piece and the techniques involved in using them. We’ll look at how and where you use them, why I think they’re worth considering in a design, and where you can order them.

River Crane Framing
Based in Twickenham, South West London, River Crane Framing has provided a bespoke picture framing service since 2013. My focus is on running framing workshops, where you can have a fun day framing, trying a new hobby, or helping you build your own picture framing business. I teach in person and have a selection of online workshops.
I’m Sue Harper (GCF(APF)), resident picture framer and trainer, and the projects I have worked on include one-off pieces for gifts or art for the home, and projects for galleries. My workshop in the garden provides a peaceful alternative to shopping on the High Street. I work by appointment only, to provide a calm space to discuss your artwork.
Framing: I have framed for photographers and other artists preparing for exhibitions, for designers and decorators working on new room layouts, and for anyone wanting to preserve cherished memories. I have framed photographs, drawings, paintings, prints, mirrors, canvases, shirts, embroideries, silk scarves, tapestries, medals…in short, your memories…
I’m currently focusing on training and helping my students with their businesses. I am currently not taking in any further framing commissions. If you are looking for a local framer, email me and I can recommend framers I trust.
Workshops: I run 1-1 in person picture framing training days and online workshops. Whether you want to spend a day doing something different, want to learn a new skill, or set up your own framing workshop, I tailor the workshop to suit you, in person or online.
