About Us |
| Ian Kenny Framing is a family owned and run business operating from two High Street outlets in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The first retail outlet was opened in Larkhall in 1989, although Ian had been framing pictures since the summer of 1976. He quickly established a reputation for quality work, and went on to open the Gallery in Hamilton in 1992. The Larkhall branch is a fully insured, dedicated framing workshop where the public are welcome to speak to the framer who will be doing their work. The Gallery in Hamilton is the main centre for anyone seeking artwork not normally seen in 'run-of-the-mill' Galleries. The increasing use of conservation materials has not passed Ian's notice, and he became one of the first in the area to actively promote quality conservation materials for use in framing. With the use of these materials in mind, Ian took the Fine Art Trade Guild "Commended Framer" exam in 1997, and passed with flying colours - making him one of the first qualified framers in Scotland. The Commended Framer scheme is the UK's only recognised framing qualification. Ian has fully supported the scheme, and has been the Guild Tester for Scotland since 2001. He also recently served as the local area Director of the Fine Art Trade Guild. In recent years the Gallery in Hamilton has built up a reputation for selling only the very best in artwork - becoming the Main dealer in the area for work by George Ioannou, Gillian McDonald and many other well respected artists, as well as having a permanent exhibition space for the increasingly popular contemporary artist Scott Naismith. |
