The story behind the pour
Framed & Fermented is a collaboration between Thomas Rainsford and Gillian Adamson: a blend of art, framing, and conversation shared over something beautifully poured.
What began as a Brighton gallery project has grown into a series of curated experiences: exhibitions paired with fine wines, intimate gatherings surrounded by original works, and collaborations that connect artists, makers, and vineyards.
Tom brings long-standing expertise in framing and art consultancy, working closely with collectors, designers, and galleries to present artwork with care and integrity.
Gillian leads the communications and guest experience, shaping the voice and rhythm of each event, and ensuring every detail — from invitation to pour — feels personal and considered.
Together, we host and produce Framed & Fermented events that celebrate craft, creativity, and connection: where the maker’s process meets the shared pleasure of a glass well poured.
Based in Brighton, we collaborate with artists, vineyards, and venues across the UK and beyond.
