Frame Finishes
Gesso is probably one of the most important products we use in our workshop. It is applied to the timber frame profile, and is wiped down and sanded to create a smooth base. It can also be used as a finish in its own right, and can be cracked or combed to create a really beautiful effect. We use Gesso on our frames, mounts and slips, either using its natural colour, adding a wash to it, or ageing it to complement an antique frame finish.
