YOUR SAFETY COMES FIRST

During the COVID-19 Pandemic, we will temporarily be open on an appointment only basis.

Please give us a call or send an email to schedule a time and date.

 

We insist that all of our unvaccinated visitors wear a mask and respect each other's personal space. Hand sanitizer will be provided, and please be prepared to have your temperature checked with a touch-free thermometer.

If you feel sick, or have been in close contact with anyone who has shown symptoms or tested positive, please stay home. 

Thank you for understanding. We look forward to fully opening once our community is safe once again.

The craft of picture framing has changed little over the centuries. Framers still use the basic skills passed down through their mentors. The principles of presenting, preserving and protecting a work of art remain the same today.

The exact materials used today by major museums for the preparation and conservation of works of art, and the techniques to use them correctly, are available to you through a properly skilled framer.
