Frequently Asked Questions About Framing
What does it cost to frame . . . ?
Price depends on and varies with size, framing
procedures used, and design elements chosen fo
r your particular art piece. FRAMIN' PLACE's knowledgeable
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 the options.
How long does framing take?
Generally most framing requires two weeks depending
on the materials needed. You may select a one-of-a-kind
handmade product which might require several weeks for
completion. Short on time? Please let us know, we like 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 premise at
FRAMIN' PLACE. Framing materials may be ordered and shipped
to our store to complete your framing project. The only
exceptions are items requiring shipment to our restoration
experts.
Does FRAMIN' PLACE frame needlework?
Yes. We frame all types of needlework including cross
stitch, needlepoint, crewel, hooked rugs, tapestry, and
all types of fabric art.
What is a dry mount and why would I want it?
A dry mount is a procedure used to adhere a print or
poster to a stable backing board and therefore guarantee
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. However, we
do not recommend dry mounting signed, limited edition or fine
artwork as this procedure is irreversible and will therefore
negatively affect the value of the art.
