In the second episode of Behind the Seen, Carrie chats with Tim Blake,  a bespoke framer with + 25 years of experience offering tailored framing direction, art presentation, and advisory services for art collectors, artists, and galleries worldwide. Specialising in custom framing, Tim works closely with clients to create unique, seamless presentations that enhance the visual impact of each piece while ensuring its protection and longevity.

From Carrie:

"Tim is actually so much more than just a framer and he's been part of this world for 25 years. first at John Jones, and then at Darbyshire, and now he's going out on his own. So I'm kind of hoping he's going to sit down with us and give us all the tea, all the stuff, because he's not affiliated with thosegiants anymore. But most importantly, I'm kind of interested in talking to him about like what it is to be a framer, because his job is so much bigger than most people can possibly appreciate."
