The Framing Rooms is a custom framing workshop on Wakatu Lane in Toi Toi, Nelson, and it shares its space with Quiet Dog Gallery, which shows contemporary art, sculpture, ceramics and objects. The workshop frames art, photography and other things people want to keep, and it helps customers choose materials and finishes that suit each piece. It does conservation framing as well, which is the careful work of preserving and presenting pieces that matter, and it also frames for workplaces, hospitality, retail and commercial spaces. The team has more than 60 years of framing experience between them. Steve, a master framer with over 30 years in the trade, co-owns the business and spent more than half his career at John Leech Framing in Auckland, which the website calls the oldest framing business in New Zealand. Framing here suits anyone whose artwork is worth doing properly, and the workshop is the sort of place where a frame is chosen for how the piece will be seen. The building faces Wakatu Car Park, with the Connings Pop Up Store opposite.
