About South West Art?
For over 20 years, South West Art has been a trusted destination for artists who care about the quality of their materials and the integrity of their work. We’re a specialist store run by practising artists, combining real creative experience with carefully sourced, premium supplies from around the world.
What began as a small seaside shop has grown into a supportive community where beginners, hobbyists and professionals feel understood, encouraged and equipped to create their best work. With expert in-house framing, a fully equipped printmaking studio and workshops led by experienced tutors, we’re here to offer guidance, reliability and a genuine passion for the craft every step of the way.
Bespoke Picture Framing
Our in-house framing studio offers conservation-grade framing designed to preserve and elevate your artwork. Whether it’s a cherished print, textile or original piece, we take the time to get it right.
Framing is more than a finishing touch, it’s an essential part of how your artwork is preserved and presented. Our framing studio is run by skilled, experienced framers who work with the same care and precision that artists put into their work.
From fine art prints and textiles to original paintings and sentimental pieces, we use conservation-grade materials and techniques to ensure your artwork is protected for years to come.
Whether you know exactly what you want or need a little advice, we’ll help you find the perfect frame.
