Secrets of the Framing Masters
The Custom Framing Process starts with your artwork. Members of our knowledgable staff guide you in choosing from thousands of matting, glass and moulding options.
Once you have decided on a design for you artwork, the raw materials are ordered. Upon arrival, mouldings, mat and other supplies are lovingly inspected for quality.
The craftsman uses his or her discretion as to the best method to approach each project. Usually, the first step is joining the frame. At the Alley Gallery, we do things the old-fashioned way: a drill, brads and trusty wood glue.
Next comes the painstaking process of cutting, gluing, hinging and fitting. The gallery is stocked with paints, glues, fixatives and all the tools necessary to make your vision for your artwork a reality.
Once all the final touches are complete, your artwork is inspected on last time by several sets of eyes to insure everything is perfect before you take it home.
