Gift Shops in Worcester

We create personalised, typographic canvas and fine art prints for every occasion. You tell us the words, phrases, names, dates, numbers and all other details you want included in your artwork. Even the colours and typeface can be customised and personalised. Then, let us do the rest. We will design a truly original piece of wall art. Due to the huge amount of personalisation available, they can be tailored for everybody and any event! Nobody else will own one the same as each design is a one off, making them brilliantly unique gifts!

Unlike other, similar companies, customers receive a totally personal service as the creation and ordering process is not automated. We will contact the customer to discuss exact requirements so that the art will be exactly as requested. A proof is sent to the customer for approval after the initial design stage. Changes can be made and a new proof will be sent. This process will continue until the customer gives approval for the final production print to be made.

The designs can be produced on either high quality fine card or on a ready to hang wall canvas.

Our card artwork is printed on bright white, coated core gloss card. It conforms to ISO 9706 standards, which means it is classed as a permanent paper. It is low in acid and lignin to reduce the yellowing effect over time and is also more resistant to tearing than standard cards. It has excellent durability and lay flat properties so that it is less likely to bend or warp. We also use this card as it is supremely smooth and therefore, it is better for producing this type of typography artwork because it produces a sharper, more detailed result. If you care properly for your product, it should last in excess of 75 years without any discernible fade!

Unlike similar companies who will offer a mounting service at extra cost, all of our fine card prints are mounted as standard at no extra cost. We never use cheap, ready made mounting boards. We use white core, acid free board. The prints are mounted using archival standard mounting tape and finished with an acid free, conservation standard backing board. Everything is measured and cut by a skilled craftsman, to exactly fit your artwork.

We do however, also offer a bespoke framing service. If you choose this option, your print will arrive mounted as described above and professionally framed, ready to hang. Again, we only use high quality mouldings and never use ready made frames. The mouldings are 30mm deep and 32mm wide on the facing side and are all cut to fit by our framer. The glass is cut to size and the frame it is tightly sealed and finished with hanging eyes and cord.

Our canvas prints are produced using the latest in fine art canvas printing technology, which results in rich, deep and lasting colours. The canvas used is a heavy duty, 350gsm weave - the same standard you would find in a museum or art gallery. Again, if cared for properly, the inks used mean that it will last over 75 years. The canvas is stretched by hand over a 45mm deep profile frame.

By using such high quality materials and utilising skilled craftspeople, we believe it would be difficult to get a similar item at this price point elsewhere. We offer fantastic value for money. Why not let us create a bespoke, personalised piece of artwork for you or as a gift for a special recipient? Everything is carefully and lovingly designed and hand made in Britain. The company name of The Bea's Knees And The Cat's Whiskers really does say it all!
