Framers' Workshop

J. Mark Carper,_Ed.D.

Great work, great cause (It's run, if I remember correctly, by Mass. ARC) if not exactly cheap for the "good" stuff I had framed. But I WAS able to use one of their $5 frames - which I found in the waiting area for one 'lesser' item, which helped a lot. That one maxed out at around $30, the extra accounted for by the glass & labor. Really fine work all around!

Even in the era of Covid, the customer service and attention to helping with the choices, advice and speed is brilliant! You can order the frame you like and pick it up in a week and have it done at home. Safe and practical!

This place is great. They help you select frames and mats and walk you through framing if you have no experience. I went for one frame and found myself coming back often to frame other items. They will do the frame for you, but it takes a while and honestly it's more fun to frame it yourself and walk out with your work that day.

I have used the Frame Shop for years (most of the time have paintings framed not DIY). Have always been very happy with the shop’s service and their quality. Last week I sent in another job. It was a canvas oil painting. The girl handling the transaction was less than friendly, which is very unusual. That in itself was not a big deal. We agreed that the painting would go on a floating frame without glass. When the work came back, I found the painting was pasted with four small strips of double-sided tapes, each not aligned to the corners but about 1-2” from the corners which made the painting’s edges not even taped down to the board snugly. This was an unusually low quality job. I am very disappointed. I am a huge fan in supporting local businesses. But the latest unpleasant attitude and the low quality work make me think I will probably go elsewhere from now on. I did not pick up the painting myself otherwise I would have said something with a shop manager. But after some consideration, I think it is fair to post a review reflecting my experience. Add to original post: Skye had the frame entirely redone; she also did not charge for the first frame job. The new frame is very nice. Thank you!
