The Art Shop.
Manchester.
Independent art store in Timperley, Manchester — fine art giclée prints, hand-stretched canvas, bespoke picture framing and conservation mounts. Everything made by us, on-site. Walk-ins welcome.
Not a chain. Not outsourced.
The independent art shop Manchester actually needs.
We've been the family-run art store and framing studio for South Manchester for over thirty years — printing, framing and selling fine art from the same Timperley workshop. Every print is pulled on our own Canon Pro printers, every frame is cut and joined on-site, every canvas hand-stretched over solid pine. Nothing is sent out to a trade printer or a frame factory.
That's the bit most "art shops" in Manchester don't tell you. We're the people doing the work. Walk in, look at the moulding samples, hold a Hahnemühle Photo Rag in your hand, see the canvas come off the printer. Then we make exactly what you ordered.

What Manchester customers say.
"Walked in with a stack of family prints and walked out with the best advice I've had from any art shop in Manchester. Frames arrived a week later — perfect."
Hannah W.
Didsbury, Manchester
"I run a small gallery and Love To Frame is now my go-to art store in Manchester for both prints and framing. Quality is consistent and turnaround is always quick."
Marcus L.
Northern Quarter
"An actual proper art shop — not a chain. They printed three Hahnemühle editions of my daughter's painting and framed the original. Honest pricing, lovely people."
