Dragons Tamed in The Gallery
The idea for these really simple picture frames came about as a result of mum Eona Craig’s frustration with ‘fridge door’ art. Simply sticking the mini masterpieces created by her then two year old son onto kitchen appliances seemed inappropriate. Instead, she invented the frame and now hopes that others will benefit from celebrating their children’s creativity in a way that is fun as well as functional.
Eona’s husband Colin Gilchrist developed the prototype and has been instrumental in moving the project on to manufacture. The first frames were made and sprayed by hand in Glasgow at the workshops of RG Bespoke Joinery - www.bespoke-joinery.com
In August 2008, the husband and wife team braved the Dragons' Den and though the entrepreneurs didn't invest in the company both Peter Jones and Duncan Bannatyne bought a frame each for their own off-spring.
