Pat & John Horrocks, Owners
BlackBird is an independent framer and art gallery owned by Pat & John Horrocks. We have shared our business since 1990, and moved to Asheville in 2002.
Our experience shows in the way we conduct our business - with unmatched service and uncompromising integrity in our dealings with every client.
It is in our nature and our interests to develop long-lasting relationships based on trust. To that end, we serve our clients by being honest, professional and diligent in our effort to provide the highest level of value possible. That means giving sound advice regarding the art, its preservation, framing design, and the price/value of our work.
Three Certified Picture Framers on Staff!
Three of our staff are designated as Certified Picture Framers, by the Professional Picture Framers Association (PPFA). Natalie Hood, a framer since 1996, John Nelson, framing since 1986, and John Horrocks, co-owner since 1990, passed a comprehensive examination to earn the recognition, making BlackBird the region’s only frame shop with three CPF’s. The CPF designation signifies experience and extensive knowledge, particularly on issues of preservation framing methods.
