Commended
Framers have been awarded an emblem of excellence by the art and
framing industry's trade association, The Fine Art Trade Guild.
Their skills, both practical and theoretical have been examined
by a Guild Tester in a rigorous two hour test. The aim of the
Commended Framer scheme is to distinguish the skilled from the
semi-skilled and to help the public select a professional
framer who will apply a high level of expertise to the conservation
and display of their artwork.
Commended
Framers have proven expertise in framing artwork on paper and
canvas, as well as an understanding of the properties of the different types of artwork
and how each should be framed and conserved.
We have a professional
understanding
of framing materials and equipment: distinguishing features, design
implications and when appropriate to use each.
They have also been tested on workshop practice, including the
accepted methods of handling customers artwork.
Commended Framers are competent to advise
customers on technical and conservation matters, as well as design and presentation, while
keeping to a budget.
Since its inception in 1994, the Commended Framer scheme has been
adopted in many European countries, as well as Australia, New Zealand and
the USA, and is seen as a benchmark within the industry for recognising
Professional Framers.
Ian Kenny GCF has fully supported the scheme, and
is currently the Guild Tester for Scotland.
At Ian
Kenny Framing, there are
only three people who will ever frame your work - Ian Kenny
GCF, Andrew McLaren GCF and Craig
McKenzie GCF. We are available for you to discuss the
best way to present and conserve your artwork
for the future. |
