Holy Moly!!! Frames, frames and more frames! These are top quality, gorgeous, hand-built frames. Sizes range from 4' x 6', 35" x 35", 25" x 31", 20" x 24", 12" x 16", 12" x 12", and more!

Prices reflect about 1/3 of retail and are open to negotiation, especially if you're taking a lot off our hands! The pictures just show a few of what we've gotten so far.

Intimidated by the thought of mounting your work in one of these frames? Do you do work on fabric or paper so you'd like glass to fit one of these? Go see our friends over at  Fourth Corner Frames  or  Bellingham FrameWorks  and they'd be happy to help you out!
