Picture Framing

H.O.B Studio

“At H.O.B Studio in Manchester, I offer a bespoke picture framing service with expertly hand-finished frames made from the highest quality materials.

I use anti-glare glazing and acid-free conservation boards to protect and preserve both prints and original artworks.

All of my timbers are FSC-certified and available in a choice of hardwoods, softwoods, colours, and finishes. I also specialise in internal slip frames to give each piece a polished, professional presentation.

My aim is always to create framing that not only protects your art but enhances it for years to come.”

Frames by Jack 

Framed with care, for you and the environment

01

By hand

“At H.O.B Studio in Manchester, I believe nothing matches the elegance and quality of a handcrafted picture frame.

Every frame I make is built by hand using traditional woodworking techniques and premium materials. I carefully cut, pin, sand, finish, wax, polish, and quality-check each one to ensure exceptional craftsmanship. You can choose from my curated range of custom frames to give your artwork the perfect finishing touch for your home or office.”

02

Acid-free

“My custom art framing service is all about preserving your artwork with the highest-quality, museum-grade materials. I use acid-free boards, tapes, and archival adhesives to protect prints, originals, and artworks from fading or environmental damage. Every frame is made bespoke, and I’ll work closely with you to design something that not only safeguards your piece but also enhances its visual impact.”

03

Low carbon footprint

“I take pride in creating sustainable picture frames that showcase artwork beautifully while staying environmentally responsible. I never use timber from countries with questionable forestry or labour practices — instead, I work only with premium European wood. Each frame is crafted by hand using traditional tools and techniques, often powered simply by hand or foot.

With my workshop on-site in Chorlton, Manchester, you can see the care, precision, and craftsmanship that goes into every bespoke frame I make.”

04

Sustainably sourced timbers FSC

“All of my custom frames are made exclusively from solid, FSC-certified wood — never veneers or substitutes. From the smallest print to the largest original artwork, each frame is crafted with care using sustainably sourced timbers. I offer a wide range of sizes and styles to complement your artistic vision, ensuring that every piece you frame with H.O.B Gallery becomes a lasting showcase for your artwork.”
