Towngate Framing

Framing Services for the Retail and Corporate Markets


Katie has Won the 2007 Set Piece Framing Award
at the Fine Art Trade Guild Awards Night
at the prestigious Shaw Theatre in London on the 12th May 2007

Katie entered the Awards for first time in 2005 and was immediately chosen as a Finalist.
She was also picked as a Finalist in 2006 and has won in 2007. Some track record.
Katie has always been a perfectionist and really enjoys her creative framing
no matter what the subject, and we certainly get a few challenges.

Well Done Katie
We are all so proud of you
