02 / The space around it
Mats & glass,
in plain language.
Cotton mat
Board made from cotton fibers, with a choice of whites and soft colors. From $30 extra for one mat, depending on size.
Clear glass
Our included option. It gives a clear view straight on, but windows and lights can show as reflections.
Less glare
Coated glass reduces visible reflections; it does not remove every reflection. From $45 extra, depending on size.
Lighter acrylic
A lighter option for a larger frame. It scratches more easily than glass, so use a soft cloth and a cleaner made for acrylic. From $35 extra.
03 / Things with a story
Shadow boxes
From $225 for an interior up to 8 × 10 inches and 2 inches deep.
Includes a plain wood box frame, fabric-covered backing, clear glass and fitting for one small object. Extra depth, several objects or more involved attachments change the quote.
Bring the actual objects. We agree on their arrangement and how each will be held before work begins. Allow 3–4 weeks after approval.

Before you bring it in
How long does a framing order take?
Most custom framing takes 2–3 weeks after materials and price are approved. Shadow boxes take 3–4 weeks. Material availability and holiday deadlines can change that; we agree on the pickup date first.
Can you use a frame I already have?
Bring it along. We check the joints, depth and fit before quoting new mats, glass or fitting. The December 11 fitting deadline applies only to frames we have checked and accepted.
Let’s make space for it.
Tell us what you are framing and its approximate size. We will work out the materials with you.
