“I have had many of my paintings framed by this framer over the years, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and understanding of how to complement and enhance artwork are exceptional. Every piece has been framed beautifully and with great care, always exceeding my expectations. They take the time to offer thoughtful advice on frame and mat selections, ensuring each painting is presented at its very best. The quality of the work is consistently outstanding, and their professionalism and reliability make the entire process easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for expert framing services. Their skill and dedication have helped showcase my artwork perfectly time and time again.”
“I went to Opticon framing to get a frame made for a print I had purchased, to honour my stillborn son. This was a very special and sentimental piece for us, so we were wanting the outcome to be perfect. I cannot speak highly enough of the service we received at Opticon framing. They treated me with such respect, compassion and kindness and helped me through the process of picking the perfect materials to compliment the print I had. The pricing was very reasonable also. They completed the final product well before the timeline given. I was blown away when I came up pick it up. It was perfect, better than I could have imagined. It meant so much to our family how much thought and care was put into the frame. I highly recommend Opticon framing for any framing needs you have. We will definitely be using them again in the future.”
“A few years ago I engaged the team at Opticon Framing to mount and frame some fused glass panels for my open studio event. I was so pleased with the result, I am heading back for them to frame the work for my upcoming solo exhibition. The team (particularly David) have a unique flair for finding just the right way to present unique art. Excited to see what they can do for me this time!”
“Over the moon with the care, skill and quality of framing provided by Opticon for a series of 15 artworks for my solo exhibition. Thanks to David for helping me select the vibrantly coloured frames, they really made my art pop! I'm happy to report that 9 of the 15 artworks framed by Opticon sold during the exhibition, and I think this has a lot to do with the framing which showcased my art at its absolute best! Thanks again, I recommend you to all my artist friends!”
“Thanks to the fantastic team at Opticon Framing for your amazing work framing my painting from Bali! Will definitely be coming back.”
“Great framing team and friendly service. Gary is a highly skilled framer who has framed almost every piece of art in my house, and I have a lot! He always chooses exactly the right materials to make the artwork sing.”
“Very happy with their services. Lisa and her team did a great job for my urgent photo frame needs.”
“Staff were friendly and nice. They stretched the large canvas print I provided for a sensible price. No complaints. Say hi to Susan for me.”
“Excellent service and great wholesale prices. The staff assisted with a difficult framing issue and called to say the frame was ready within 2 days. The result was excellent.”
“Guys over there are professional and really helpful. Assisted us with the frames that we were after, friendly staff and would highly recommend them.”
“Very friendly staff and they were able to do great quality framing in a short time at a very reasonable price.”
“They did a good job at a reasonable price.”
“Lovely staff members especially Sonja.”
“I've had quite a few items framed by Opticon now. I'm not the most astute person in terms of decor, so when asked what colours and materials I'd like, I've always left it up to dealer's choice and told them to surprise me. Every time the framing has been done with colour palettes and materials that complement and make each piece pop. I still have a few things I'd like to get framed, and without a doubt I won't have it done by anyone other than Opticon.”
