Can't recommend these guys highly enough. We had a bunch of prints that we needed framed, as well…read moreas a couple of pictures that needed new mounts and some wee repairs. We had always put this off for fear that this would be really expensive, but we decided to bite the bullet and get it done. After a bit of internet searching we found this place and decided to give them a go. The key thing that swung it for us is that a lot of the students at the School of Art use them, and after dealing with them you can see why. First off, the quality of the work is brilliant. Craig looked at what we had and made brilliant suggestions on the type and colour of frame which made what we had look amazing. He also suggested that we change the type of glass we had in one of the frames we were getting fixed, and this has really made the colours on the picture pop. Secondly, everyone that works there is really nice. You can tell they love what they do, are really good at it, and are really interested in the art that people bring in. We weren't in a rush to get this done, so it took about 2 weeks, and Craig was in contact with us to let us know how things were coming along and to double check a few things. Also, they are really well priced. We got 3 pictures framed and 2 fixed and this came in comfortably under £150. Considering one of the pictures we got fixed cost about £80 to get framed 10 years ago I thought this was superb. Honestly, if you need something framed definitely give these guys a go.

I needed a card framed and had, as usual, left it till the last moment. After explaining my situation he told me to come back in the morning and it would be waiting for me framed and with a border round it for a very reasonable price considering he had squeezed me in with no notice at all.

Have you ever had a friend that screwed up?…read more I mean really screwed up? Not only did they crash your car but your dog was in the car at the time, and since your friend was drunk they had the dog driving. Car gone, dog dead and your pal asking for a beer next to the flaming wreckage complaining about your dog's inability to successfully negotiate reverse camber corners. In a similar scale - Framing Workshop really screwed up They were asked to frame a antique shawl by the wife. An antique Whitby Jet shawl that she has taken care of for over 35 years. We have carried it with us over oceans and kept it in pride of place, in every location we have inhabited. We decided to get the item framed to protect it and specifically asked for it to be pinned in the framed and hung over the backing. The colour of the backing board that they decided to use was grey and when we got it home, it sucked the colour out of the shawl and out of the room. So, I thought why not get the backing board changed out to a nice cream and present it to the wife. The local framer took it in and phoned me the next day. "They glued it". Sorry "They glued the whole thing". The front matt board was glued to the shawl. The antique shawl was completely glued to the backing board. It was not going to shift. Destroyed. Thank you very much. And we are never going near Framing Workshop ever again.

I have many things framed there at a very reasonable price.. For example me and my friend had the same picture to get framed, she went else where and payed £65 and I only payed £32.. Bargain.. I also saw a picture on pinterest of a box frame with an opening in the top so that you can post your old concert tickets in to display them.. They took on the challenge and made me one which I love, I still need to sort all my tickets out but when I have I will add a picture.. Oh also if you if you are in don't forget to look up, when I was collecting my frame I was chatting to the owner, I asked her what the weirdest thing she had framed was and she told me to look up.. Framed on the roof was a giant tunnocks tea cake from the opening ceremony of the commonwealth games.. Love it..

This place has everything you could ever want in terms of craft, art and technical materials and I even find myself feeling all creative as I wander through its two floors. The thing that my mum raves about is the 'fill a box' which allows you to fill a rectangular box full of all different types and colours of card and paper to suit your needs. As long as the box closes then you get it all for £7.25 (or £5-odd for a smaller box). The concept is unique and it is the only place in the vicinity that I know of that does this. They also do a 'bonus card' - you get 10 points for every £1 you spend which you can later redeem against some of your favourite goodies. 1 point equals 1p so you are essentially getting 10% off every time you spend. My only qualm? The prices. A lot of their products could be found online on crafty websites for about half the price.

Based in a small, modest space, this place not only offers an affordable framing service for your pictures, but offers a selection of locally themed art prints itself. Crammed into this petite establishment is a wave of lower key paintings by Scottish artists, including their affordable prints. Of high quality and immortalised in delicate yet robust frames, these prints would look cracking in your home at a tenth of the cost you'd be paying for the original. When I last visited Chieftain Arts the woman sitting at the desk was more than happy to let me browse at my own leisure without pressuring me to buy, and I felt free to observe the pretty prints in peace. With some lovely depictions of abstract sunsets and boasting some quaint looking impressionist styled paintings of Morningside in Edinburgh, there will be hidden treats in store within Chieftain Arts for the casual, recreational art lover.
