Planning to bring some artwork into Beyond Canvas? Please check the latest opening information before setting out.

The shop is normally open:

Wednesday–Saturday
10am–4pm

Other times are available by appointment.

Current hours and occasional closure dates are published on the website and social channels, recorded on the answerphone, displayed on the door and shown on the digital window screen.

As a one-person specialist business, I cannot operate quite like a national retailer—so checking ahead is particularly sensible if you’re carrying something large, valuable or awkward.

A quick check can prevent a wasted journey, and I’d much rather make room for your artwork than have you arrive while I’m somewhere else.

A toddler, a bathroom wall and the contents of a potty: one of two original Alex Calder paintings arrived with a more eventful history than most.

Thankfully, the artwork survived. The collector brought the pair to Beyond Canvas for a new presentation that would complement their bold colours and late-1960s/early-1970s character.

The old framing was replaced with warm Sahara mounts, characterful Havana Worn Black frames from LION Picture Framing Supplies, LION Picture Framing Supplies and conservation UV glass from Wessex Pictures

The result feels brighter, more confident and entirely in keeping with the paintings’ mid-century aesthetic—while placing that memorable domestic mishap safely in the past.

Have an artwork that has survived an accident or simply outgrown its old frame? Bring it into Beyond Canvas and let’s consider its next chapter.

These three late-nineteenth-century watercolours arrived in their original ornate gold frames, but the old, mounts were distracting from the pictures. An update was needed.

Rather than replace frames with so much character, we carefully dismantled each picture, removed the old mountboard - which was also showing signs of moisture damage on the back and introduced new, conservation standard, Antique White mounts. UV conservation glass provides additional protection before everything was reassembled and made ready to hang.

The original frames retain their history, while the quieter, lighter presentation gives the watercolours renewed life.

Good reframing is often about knowing what to change—and what deserves to be kept.

WE'RE PAUSING PAUSE...
..for just one more week.

After yesterday's extraordinary rainfall caused some water to find its way into the shop, and with more unsettled weather forecast across the Bank Holiday weekend, I've decided to postpone our inaugural ART ON SUNDAY event.

The good news?
We're moving it to Sunday 6 September — right in the middle of Nantwich Food Festival.

PAUSE will be installed and ready to discover throughout the festival weekend, with our first dedicated ART ON SUNDAY opening from 10am–5pm.*

Sometimes even PAUSE needs a pause.

See you next weekend.

“Do you sell art prints?”

Yes—although Beyond Canvas presents them rather differently these days.

Before last year’s makeover, prints filled almost every available space in the shop. Today, it is a calmer working showroom, with room to explore framing choices alongside a changing selection of original and limited-edition art.

That selection will continue to develop through PAUSE, our Featured Artist Programme, bringing new artists, exhibitions and events into the shop.

Meanwhile, a curated collection of affordable and collectable prints is still available to order at https://shop.beyondcanvas.uk/

The art hasn’t disappeared. It has simply been given more room to be discovered.

These Michelin-starred restaurant menus mark special celebrations shared by one customer with his wife and family.

Each was given a bespoke arrangement, with carefully cut apertures and double mounts reflecting the restaurant’s own stationery and colours. Alphamat Black mountboard and gloss-black frames bring the individual pieces together as one confident collection.

The finished pictures hold far more than menus: each preserves the memory of a treasured occasion shared with someone special.

If you have tickets, letters, programmes or other mementos tucked away in a drawer, bring them into Beyond Canvas and let’s give their stories somewhere to live.

At six feet by five feet, this original Clint Eastwood canvas required more than a basic stretcher frame.

Seasonal changes in temperature and humidity cause timber to expand and contract. At this scale, insufficient support can lead to distortion and a loss of canvas tension.

Using professional stretcher-bar profiles from , we built a well-braced internal frame, carefully stretched the canvas and made it ready for the wall. Once its owner’s decorating is complete, it can return for a decorative outer frame.

Belt and braces for Clint: this canvas didn’t need to feel lucky—it needed structure.
