With 25 years of design experience, Italian-trained framer & designer, Jodie Prymke CGF (Certified Guild Framer), is Adelaide's only PFGV accredited Certified Guild Framer specialising in preventative conservation framing, traditional frame restoration and gilding.
"Our passion is to design beautiful picture frames to perfectly compliment your artworks. A total understanding of design is essential; this is what sets us apart from the rest."
Jodie began her professional framing career in Melbourne in 1996. With her design background and a passion for conserving fine art, she joined the Picture Framers Guild of Victoria in 1998. In 2001, she became a full member of the PFGV, achieving her Certified Guild Framer's certificate, one of only 19 in Australia.
In 2007 and 2008 Jodie travelled to Bologna and Florence in Italy to study gilding, frame restoration and traditional framing techniques at the artisan studio "Oro e Colore" owned and run by C & S Martelli, Master Gilders to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence.
On returning to Australia, "Jodie Prymke Fine Art Framing" was opened in March 2008.
