I am an Art Historian with a passion for the history of frames and art presentation. I also trained at one of the oldest framers in the country (150 years), learning the traditional craft with hand painted finishes, restoration, and gilding. I am delighted to be able to continue and develop picture framing at The Caversham Picture Framer.
Lydia is a director of The Caversham Picture Framer. You will find her mostly in Caversham, where she runs the art gallery, and carries out framing consultations. Lydia graduated with a first class honours degree in Fine Art from the University of Reading, so has a strong artistic grounding to help you find exactly the right frame to enhance and preserve your artwork.
I’ve made picture frames for almost 20 years. As well as being a friendly face, I am an expert conservation framer with an exceptional eye for detail. The chances are any frame you buy through us will have been fitted and inspected by me.
I originally trained as a carpenter and now cut the frames, glass, and backboard for all our frames. You can also see me sometimes serving in the Galleries, or driving our van.
You’ll see Andy working mainly in the Pangbourne workshop, but he also fills in at the Caversham gallery when needed. He even drives the van delivering frames, he knows it all!
