Our Story
Cotswold Art Supplies has a rich history that dates back to 1986, when Mary Frame and her daughter Gill Carrick decided to establish a business that would cater to the needs of local artists. The duo noticed a gap in the market for a specialized service that would provide a wide range of artist materials and bespoke picture framing. This vision has evolved over the years, and today, Cotswold Art Supplies is a thriving business that has grown while maintaining its personal touch.
