This is your chance to meet other artists, buy art materials at competitive prices, get expert advice from top artists and art product manufacturers, and try out the latest art materials.

DATES: Thursday, 20th July - Sunday 23rd July
VENUE: The Design Centre, Islington
We will be there showing an extensive range of resources, equipment and materials including some product launches and unique special offers.

One visit to our stand and you could find everything you need to produce top quality framing for your artwork, in the style that you choose.
In addition, there will be a full programme of workshops and seminars run by DIYframing in one of the balcony seminar / training areas. Early booking is essential as these sessions filled very quickly last year. Details follow:
Each day will start with either of the folowing two seminars. Each one lasts 1hr to 1.5hrs allowing for Q&A time.
Seminar 1 (20th & 22nd July): Develop Framing as a Source of Income
If you are thinking about framing your own artwork, why not earn some money at the same time? This session leads you through the process of how to get started with framing from home, the tools to use and what needs to be in place ready for your first “Bespoke Framing” project.
Seminar 2 (21st & 23rd July): Framing With Distinction
Looking at how framing is an essential element in creating unique pieces of artwork for display and exhibition. By giving careful consideration to colour palette, mount styles and moulding finishes, you can produce framing of exceptional quality.
During the rest of the time we will be running a series of 5 workshops. Each lasts apprximately 1hr and can accommodate 10 students:
