Picture Framer

About us:
Mount is a small team of frame-makers, printers and creatives based in rural Somerset. We believe art doesn’t have to be exclusive. Art can be anything with perceived beauty – an old postcard, a sketch, a technical drawing. We also believe that art should be protected and displayed in simple, beautifully designed frames that are hand-crafted with truly sustainable materials.

Our artworks are sourced entirely from existing collections and archives. The imagery we work with doesn’t have to be museum worthy: only interesting, visually appealing and deserving of a wider audience. We hope to inspire future collectors and to share the excitement of discovery with our customers.

Our passion is bringing the story behind the artworks and the people who collect them to life. Many of the works in our Collections have historic or sentimental value and we love hearing what drew a collector to a particular piece. We believe that the originals are in their best home, where they should rightly stay and be protected – but that doesn’t mean a wider audience cannot experience and enjoy the essence of them.

Alongside our Mount Collection products , we also make high-quality custom frames for galleries and museums. Every frame is handmade in our Somerset studio from ethically sourced materials, natural paints and finishes.
Everyone who works at Mount must share our values of sustainability, finesse and excellence in design and manufacture.
We’re looking to take on an experienced picture framer to join our team and help us make frames of the highest standard.

General job description:
We’re seeking a confident and practical person who ideally will have a minimum of 2-3 years experience and who has a good knowledge of:

• Sanding, joining and frame carpentry
• Hand-finishing and spray painting
• Cutting sheet material – mountboard, mdf, glass, dibond and any other board product required.
• Mounting of work for framing – window mounting, float mounting, object mounting and drymounting.
• Assembling of mounted work and frames.

A willingness to learn practical skills, affinity with materials, good attention to detail, the ability to work with speed, precision and finesse, and be numerate.

Salary and hours

• 35 hours a week, negotiable. Flexible hours available.
