With Bruce’s 30 years’ experience in picture framing, we offer expert advice and a friendly welcome. We won’t bamboozle you with all the fancy technical stuff (unless you want us to) but rest assured all our frames are constructed using the highest quality products for longevity bringing you superior results.

We know that bespoke picture framing requires much more than putting your artwork into a frame that looks good, it’s all about using the right materials to enhance the nuances of the works textures and tones. Keeping in mind the long-term preservation of your artwork we use acid free materials as standard, up to museum quality if required, to ensure you get the best quality setting for your art to look good on your walls for years to come.

At our newly established workshop in Kingston Park, Reid Framing will welcome you into their new (more organised) space, continuing the legacy of the highest quality service for picture framing in the North East.

Bruce Reid established the company’s roots in Hoult’s Yard in 1996, quickly building an excellent reputation with artists, galleries, collectors and the public alike.

Our new site may lack the history of the Pottery Works but we are perfectly situated for other retail opportunities and easy to access from all parts of the region, just off the A1.

Our open plan framing workshop is a buzzing working environment, there’s always a choice record on and great craic. Pop down for a free consultation and quote, just ask for Tara or Bruce, you can even select some records on our resident juke box the ‘Disco 200’.
