What does it cost to frame?
Prices vary with size, framing procedures used, and design elements chosen for
your particular art piece. Our experienced staff will recommend
appropriate procedures explaining their benefit as well as offer design options
to enhance your artwork. All design and price quotes are free of
charge. So, come in, bring your artwork, and explore your options. How
long does framing take?
Most framing requires one to two weeks depending on materials needed. Some
things we can do for you immediately while you browse or finish your shopping
for the day. If you're short on time, please let us know, we try to
accommodate every need. Does
my artwork stay in your store while it is being framed?
Yes. All work is done by our professional staff on the premises.
Framing materials may be ordered and shipped to our store to complete your
framing project. Do you
frame needlework?
Yes. We frame all types of needlework including cross stitch, needle
point, crewel, hooked rugs, tapestry, and all types of fabric art. Will
you frame my artwork using a frame I bring to you?
Absolutely. We are happy to use you antique frame or any framing materials
you may already have. Why
do I need a dry mount?
This is a procedure used to adhere a print or poster to a stable backing board
and guarantees your artwork will not ripple or wave. Despite glass and
backing support, without this procedure your print will ripple as it expands and
contracts with the changes of temperature and humidity in your home. What
about artwork value?
That $15 poster or child's drawing may have little value. But once
professionally framed it becomes a crucial design element. A well framed
print or poster ends up looking like much more than a cheap piece of
paper. Put it in a cheap frame, however, and it will remain a cheap
poster. And your child's drawing could be the next Picasso! Don't
ruin something by improper framing because you think it has little apparent
value. Which computer mat
cutting system do you use?
We use the WIZARD system, the leader in the computerized mat cutting industry.
