Otters Pool Studio

Fantastic.Managed to spill tea into some expensive artwork.Luckily, just the inner frames and Mount got ruined, but it’s was one of three piece’s and needed to be replaced like-for-like.Emailed several framers and Otter Pool Studio really stood out with a detailed response, I could tell they were professional, and the service I received, really confirmed this.Easy to book website was smooth too.10/10 job, Jon sorted it out for me, now you’d never know I threw tea all in it! Highly recommend.

Jon is nothing short of a skilled craftsman. His attention to detail, his expert eye, and his complete & utter perfectionism is unbeatable. Jon always goes above and beyond on the framing projects he does for my vintage art business and I genuinely wouldn't use anyone else.

Jon has done an amazing job. The frame itself is a work of art. The service and workmanship were 10/10 :) Highly Highly recommended.

Jon is a fantastic framer. I’ve used him over the years, either for my own work or things I’ve bought, and found that he’s miles ahead of the rest. His workmanship is outstanding and the consultative/pre-framing process really does get the best outcome. I’ve tried other framers but the quality of frames is nowhere as good. I’ve had one white frame that Jon DIDN’T do that yellowed, and another framer that left a hair trapped in there! You wouldn’t get that with Otters Pool. I think Jon would agree that he’s not the cheapest, but I’ve used cheaper - and yellowing frames and trapped hairs is what I got! You really do get what you pay for with Jon and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.

Jon framed 2 jigsaw puzzles that I made. They were very dear to me. The result was stunning. We talked for 1 hour to agree on the frame and addings to insert which would give some depth to the jigsaws. Jon is very professional, expert in his field and offer good advice. I am glad I went to him, would highly recommend and will definitely go back in the future.

We had 5 x canvases framed, 2 x were large 1.2 square, the others smaller. Jonathan was very thorough at the consultation. We had all the paintings framed with a ‘flag gap’ frame for a contemporary appearance. Jonathan said the framing would be complete in a month and he delivered inside this programme. We are delighted. OPS was recommended to us by a professional artist. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jonathan very highly.

Jon framed a new large piece of art we had bought. He was very helpful and professional throughout - he guided us on the frame size and options without pressuring us to go for a certain style or price bracket. He was very transparent with fees and delivery time. When the art was delivered you can see the high quality of the workmanship. He is careful with his choice of suppliers and the framing itself is done beautifully by him. I highly recommend and will be back to purchase from him again. Thank you!

I bought a print for my wife which I needed to be framed, but wanted the frame to match one on a previous print I had bought from Whitewall Galleries. Sadly, Whitewall couldn't frame the print for me (for insurance reasons), but recommended me to Jon At Otters Pool Studios. What an excellent recommendation!Unfortunately, Jon couldn't match the frame, but Whitewall agreed to sell me a matching frame. Jon collected the frame from Guildford for me, and did an amazing job to match the mounts. I took the print over to him and he mounted it in the frame while I waited and we chatted. The time zoomed past and we came away with the mounted print in the frame, all professionally wrapped for me to give to my wife.Price was amazingly reasonable too. I would highly recommend anyone, who wants a print to be professionally framed, to book an appointment with Jon at Otters Pool Studio!

From start to finish Jon has provided us with a first class service. My requirement was to have framed two antique golf clubs made by my Grandfather about a century ago and to include a photo and a brief biography..Jon's experience and advice ensured the right choice of materials for the frame, and his expertise in making the frame and mounting the clubs to show them to their best advantage, means that we have something that not only looks good on the wall, but also will stay in our family as a reminder of a very talented man. I thoroughly recommend Otters Pool Studio.

I recently worked with Jon to turn a canvas I'd bought online into a wall-ready piece of art. Jon was responsive and knowledgeable from our initial emails, advising the best way to do it and a range of cost options. He collected and dropped off at no extra cost. And the finished product is fantastic. Overall his service and work were faultless. Highly recommended.
