When a picture framer with an interior design degree frames something for themselves. 😅
Thanks to for the beautiful Havanna moulding, the thinner orange one as a slip fits perfectly with the wider black version and compliments the picture perfectly.
What do you think?

I am thrilled that Rob at The Apothecary Candle Company will be sharing space at the gallery to offer his candle and wreath making workshops.

A New Chapter Begins Here at The Apothecary Candle Company

And now, with great excitement, we invite you to step beyond the candle…Into a world of fragrance, craftsmanship, creativity and indulgence.

🕯️ Welcome to The Chandlery | by The Apothecary Candle Company 🕯️

We are delighted to formally unveil something truly special - a new destination for creativity and craftsmanship in the heart of Padiham Town Centre

Inspired by a commitment to the timeless art of the apothecary, The Apothecary Candle Company has always been devoted to crafting moments of light and luxury.

Now, through The Chandlery, we invite you to step behind the craft and experience that artistry for yourself.

✨ OPENING 5TH OCTOBER 2026 ✨

📍 4 Burnley Road, Padiham Town Centre (our picture is an artist impression of our proposed shop front and interior) The Picture House Gallery & Framing will operate as normal - we are only taking the end unit.

The Chandlery is our brand-new dedicated creative workshop space - an intimate and beautifully considered setting where fragrance, imagination and craftsmanship come together.

Here, you won't simply purchase a candle… You'll create one.

Choose your fragrance. Explore beautiful scent combinations. Discover the craft behind the candle. Then, under the guidance of our chandler, create something that is entirely and uniquely yours.

This is more than simply candle making...

Imagine an array of exquisite fragrances transporting you somewhere far beyond… ch*****ne in hand, candlelight dancing around the room, beautiful aromas filling the air, and the opportunity to lose yourself for a while in the art of creation.

Create. Craft. Indulge. Imagine.

Throughout the year, our experiences will evolve with the seasons, offering something new to discover and enjoy.

🍂 Autumn Candle Experiences
🎄 Luxury Christmas Candle Making
🌿 Seasonal Botanical Creations
🕯️ And, as Christmas approaches, the return of our legendary wreath-making workshops

There will always be another fragrance to discover, another creation to make and another reason to return.

I do love framing a The customer was really, really chuffed with my choice of mounts and Opus moulding from . Low reflection Art glass finishes them off perfectly. Off they go back to Italy. I'm honored that despite emigrating, the customer still has his framing done at Picture House in Padiham!

This framing job for a customer of a beautiful lady looked even more gorgeous in a simple canvas float frame. The black profile with a gold front edge was stunning. Float frames are now available in all sorts of finishes including metallics, woods and fun bright colours.

We have a great range of cards, originals and prints by a lovely local artist from the foothills of Sabden. . A large chunk of the profits from any sales goes to local foodbanks.

The customer wanted a black frame for this fab portrait of David Bowie. Perhaps not conventional, but what a black frame we decided on! 😍

This wad an interesting framing job. A very old, dirty and creased newspaper from 1932. The customer wanted to see both sides, so l floated it between 2 pieces of glass with a small solid black mount. It looked great!
