We love an adventurous choice ๐
This sweet floral painting feels perfectly completed in a one-of-a-kind, custom-notched, and custom-coloured tray frame. The wine tone, and the grain texture ๐

๐ธ A custom frame, painted to suit these exhibition tickets/travel keepsakes, with two windows cut in an 8ply (double thick) matboard, and anti-glare glass.
Did you know we can cut matboard windows in all kinds of shapes and arrangements? We can cut multiple openings, and layers too. With hundreds of colours to choose from, the options are endless!
๐ธ A green, toothy frame for an adventurous @jenniedegroot on an intriguing painting by her friend Serge Krupnov. ๐
Last year, our Fergus got us all excited about experimenting more with altering some of our standard timber profiles.
We already do loads of custom-colour frames, so why not have a play with shapes?
Swipe ๐ to see some samples of different things we can do... including charred timber tray frames. We can make endless combinations, and we're always up for a creative challenge!
Cuttin' shapes! ๐
We have pulled out sooooooooo many ready-made frames from storage for our biggest ever sale! They have to go! Come find a bargain (or 10!) tomorrow from 10am.
Pleeeeease save us from these multiplying squares and rectangles! ๐คฃ
A beauty by Raglan-based artist Amanda Watson, framed with a super dark 'rainforest green' mat, and 'Zen' frame with antiglare glass.
And top left: Stuart Bridson's piece for Go Small 2026 - these two work so well together ๐ฉท๐ค
Be sure to visit Amanda's exhibition at the Gallagher Academy of Performing Arts at the University of Waikato. On until 27 February 2026.
'How to Open a Portal', an exhibition of new works by Larissa Milsum, is now showing at Framing House.
Join us for an Afternoon Tea Opening this Saturday at 2pm. Nau mai haere mai - all welcome ๐

Within the walls of the studio lives a community
Slopping jam and cream on scones
Dipping clay in liquid dust
Stacking giant portals with pearly stone
Within the walls of the kiln lives a universe
The flames are galaxies
Heaving like ancient stars
The soft glow melts strawberry milk into molten glass
Larissa is a ceramic artist based in Kirikiriroa, working from her studio atย the Waikato Society of Potters. Larissaโs practice is shaped by community, collaborating through firing, sharing glaze recipes, ideas, and treats. Reimagining the kiln as a portal of magical transformation, she references objects from memories, bringing them into the present moment.
๐ท 1. All works (please DM if you would like details)
๐ท 2. 'Pegboard with Gems and Cradles'
๐ท 3. 'Tender Stone'
