The team at Three Edge Framing and Studio

what we’re
all about

Three Edge Framing & Studio was built by Emma Forrest and Lisa Shaw, two women who trained in the picture framing trade and quickly became a local favourite in the Hills District.

We believe custom framing is an art form in itself, and through daily hands-on involvement and ongoing self-development, we're always evolving and strengthening what we do.

What started as a small, hands-on business has grown into a trusted name in custom framing, and we're excited to keep sharing our expertise, helping you create a beautiful, lasting frame you'll cherish for years to come.

quality you can see, care you can feel

Three Edge

Quality is non-negotiable for us. Every piece is handcrafted using premium, acid-free materials, state-of-the-art equipment and conservation techniques designed for longevity, not trends. We're committed to sustainable practices too, working with trusted suppliers certified under FSC, PEFC and AFS sustainable supply chains, and sourcing materials locally alongside specialist finds from around the world, including mouldings from Italy, building frames designed to be kept for a lifetime, not replaced.

But framing has never just been technical to us, it's personal. Every piece that comes through our door has a story, and we listen first, guide honestly, and take the time to get it right. That same care extends to our community, we're proud sponsors of the Carlingford Cougars and Schofields Scorpions Baseball Club and trusted by local schools including Pymble Ladies' College and The Kings School. We also support charity initiatives and offer student and senior discounts, because a studio like ours should give back to the community that supports it.

Lisa and Emma

Emma and Lisa both trained in the picture framing trade, but they bring different strengths to the studio. Together, they've grown Three Edge from a small startup into an award-winning studio, framing over 10,000 pieces and bringing more than 15 years of combined experience to every project. You'll usually find them both in the studio, ready to talk through your piece and help you get it right.

"Wow!!! The wonderful team at Three Edge Framing go above and beyond! We so appreciated their kindness, patience and great advice. In particular, I asked them to frame an authentic piece of memorabilia from WW2 which I recently bought in Italy as a surprise for my husband. The team's expertise and keen eye were incredible. This is our second time at Three Edge and we will definitely be back!!"

Emma Forrest

Emma pairs her picture framing qualification with a background in photo-imaging and years spent behind the camera as a professional photographer. That experience gave her a practised eye for light and detail long before she picked up a mat cutter. She brings that same sharpness to every piece she frames.

Lisa Shaw

Lisa pairs her picture framing qualification with a background in marketing management, bringing a considered, detail-driven approach to every project she takes on. A landscape photographer herself, she understands what it takes to see a piece through from creation to presentation, and brings that understanding into every conversation with every customer.
