About Us

Run by an artist and a writer, we like to think that Samphire is a little bit different. Situated in a tucked away corner of the historic Cornish market town of Liskeard, we're passionate about picture frames and what you might put in them. Samphire is a place where you'll find a changing display of exciting local and national art. It's somewhere second hand art history books can rub spines with contemporary literary journals and limited edition chapbooks of original short stories. And we'll frame anything. (Almost).
