| Custom Framing Technique A picture can be framed many different ways. We will help you choose with confidence a design and the techniques that are right for you! We will ask you some questions about where you are putting your piece, your tastes and ideas, color schemes that already exist, then we will suggest what will work best. Many times a client will want what is best for the art, and other times we will consider the installation environment. Either way, we will give you several choices that will look great! Once the design has been established, we will suggest the appropriate framing techniques to enhance your artwork. Click here to see examples of cool frame jobs we've done. |
| Lesser Known Facts About Matting: Most people are aware of the aesthetic advantages to using matting, but are surprised to hear of the more practical reasons to mat your artwork. While pleasing to the eye, it also provides a space between the art and the glass. The space protects the art from possible condensation. Condensation can create an environment where mold can grow and photographs can stick to the glass creating permanent damage! Matting also provides a structural support for the artwork, helping keep it from waving and buckling. We suggest using only acid free matting materials! |
| Conservation Framing: Basically, the goal of good conservation framing is being able to unframe your artwork years from now and have it come out of the frame in the same condition that we put it into the frame. We use top quality removable linen tapes, plastic corners, acid free matboards and backing, and UV glass to create this environment. |
