Framing & Art

A family business with a long history in picture framing
 

Our story began in the late 1950s, when Win Halstead took over a small arts and crafts shop in Huddersfield called George Fox Arts and Crafts.
 

In the mid 1960s, her daughter Carol and son-in-law Keith Baggs took over the business and renamed it Arts and Crafts. Keith began offering picture framing from his home workshop, and as demand grew, a dedicated workshop was established in 1970 and AC Framing was formed.
 

The business initially provided framing for local artists and businesses before developing an agency framing service operating across the North. Over the years, our work expanded to include framed artwork, fine art publishing, printing and artwork supply alongside our core framing services.
 

Today, AC Framing continues to provide bespoke and contract framing to trade and commercial customers from our West Yorkshire workshop, combining traditional framing expertise with modern production facilities.
