The Framing Process
It Starts With
Something Special
Bring your art, photos, treasured objects or favorite print into either of our locations to begin your framing adventure.
“We frame what inspires us. Getting the things that speak to you on a wall is why I love framing.”
– Josh, Frame Consultant | 4 years
Things Get Hands On
You'll be matched with one of our framing consultants who will guide you through the framing process and help you pick the perfect materials.
“Framing is creative problem solving. As an artist, I love coming up with interesting solutions. When we arrive at the right combination, we’ll know because the art “sings”!”
- Kristin, Frame Consultant | 14 years
Then it's time for our framing artisans to handcraft your frame.
Right From the Start
With precision machinery, individual care and attention, our team makes sure your design ideas are transformed into frames that work.
“My job is cutting and joining the wood mouldings, but my work is part of the big picture. This frame is going to be hanging around for a long time, so I want to give you the best."
- Omar, Cutter/Joiner | 5 years
Clean Cuts, Fine Materials
Our computerized mat cutter can create intricate designs within .001% margin of error. It cuts through fabric, boards and 8 ply museum mats like butter.
“The cutter makes quick work of the easy projects, but I prefer the challenging hands-on ones.”
- Rocio, Special Projects Facilitator | 17 years
Your Frame Comes Together
The final inspector is the first one to see all your framing choices assemble into a complete frame.
“I’m always impressed with the craftsmanship and care our framing staff puts into each piece.”
- Alejandro, Fitting Department Specialist | 23 years
Handled With Care
When things need a little help getting to their final location on your wall, you can call on our expert delivery and install team.
“Getting bigger pieces or a gallery wall up requires a lot of skill. I love helping customers and adding my eye for detail when they need it.”
- George, Delivery and Installation Expert | 22 years
It's Ready!
Your art has come full circle. Now we get to enjoy the reactions on people's faces when they are reunited with their masterpiece.
“Designing from corner samples and swatches gives a sense of the look, but it’s always very exciting to see the finished piece.”
- Dave, Framing Consultant | 22 years
Then it's time for the moment of truth,
when your frame finds its home in your home.
