We are delighted to announce that we now offer a bespoke framing service with Lowbrow Framing, based at Rockaway Park!

We're so excited to be working with Lowbrow, creating beautiful custom frames for your ShangrilART artwork. Be sure to check out Lowbrow’s Instagram for great examples of their framing!

If you have any questions or would like to discuss framing your artwork, please contact us directly at hello@shangrilart.com

Due to safety reasons, we currently only offer this as a collection-only service from Rockaway Park, Temple Cloud or Old Market in Bristol.

After purchasing your order, it will take approximately 5-6 weeks for your frame to be ready for collection (subject to material availability). If you need your order sooner, please let us know and we will try to accommodate you as best we can. 

All our frames either come with standard 2mm float glass or AR70 Art Glass. 

Art Glass AR70 is 99% anti-reflective, offers 99% visual transmission (e.g. true colours) and 70% UV protection. Find out more about Art Glass on their website.

We currently offer the following  types of framing mounts: 

Float Mount

Float mounting allows an artwork to be shown in its entirety, with edges visible, where seeing the complete piece is of interest. Float mounting is the best method for framing artwork if you are looking to emphasise the texture, shape, edges and curl of the paper it is printed on. It allows the paper to hang on its own inside the frame, with spacers maintaining the distance between the glass and the backing. 

Common guidelines are to mount artwork with a 3 to 5 cm border, but obviously anything is possible! Combined with box framing this is our most popular mounting choice.

We offer two types of float mounting - either a ‘raised’ (or high) float whereby the artwork is elevated on the thickness of a mountcard or foam-core board, or ‘flush’, where the artwork is hinged directly to, or through, a mount board with no additional raise.

Window Mount

As opposed to box framing where the entire work is shown, window mounting often seeks to focus attention to the image area. The frame itself can be shallow because less internal depth is required and therefore window mounts are often paired with flatter drawing frames.

It’s the most traditional approach and involves front and back mount boards which keep the print flattened. The front board protects the print and stops it from touching the glass. Whilst this framing method is typically used for photography, it can also work effectively for prints. Window framing creates the illusion of depth whilst giving the frame a low profile.
