Artwork

Materials: Mixed fabrics, textiles and sequins.

Direct sunlight: Many artworks don’t fare well when placed in bright sunny spots, so knowing how to protect your artwork from sunlight is important.

Temperature changes: Frequent or large temperature changes can be damaging to artworks, as can high levels of humidity or damp. In kitchens or rooms with open fires or radiators, bear in mind that strong sources of heat can cause warping or discoloration to some mediums.

Moisture: We love the idea of having art in the bathroom, but bear in mind that works on paper or those with delicate surfaces may not fare well. Good ventilation is a must to avoid mildew and surface damage, and we’d recommend chatting to a framer about how best to protect your artworks by properly sealing the frames to prevent moisture getting in.

Dust regularly: Dust your artworks regularly. For framed works or pieces with hardier surfaces use a dry, soft white cloth; if you are wanting to clean a canvas, for example paintings with heavy texture or fragile surfaces, a soft white brush is better. A new, unused make up brush would do the trick.

Never use chemicals: Never use chemical cleaning products or water to clean your artworks. If your collection needs more thorough cleaning, it’s best to book an appointment with a specialist to avoid causing any damage which can be hard, or even impossible, to reverse.
