Needle Work

Needle Work is a fine art. Creating a piece of needleart is a very time consuming business often with memories involved in the creation of the work and the intangible benefit of a work which will touch the lives of the stitcher's descendants.
These pieces need to be preserved with the best framing techniques.

Meticulous stretching over an acid free substrate

Mats or spacer to allow proper air circulation.

Design - emphasis, balance and rhythm.

Remember preservation framing will enhance the art and ensure the textiles are available to see now and long into the future.
