Frames
Posted in Photography by dubI am interested to know where you all go to get your work framed. At first, I went to Michaels, but quickly found that was like having my wallet raped. I had been going to The Hobby Lobby for the longest time and had been dealing with some of the same people each time, which made the process easier. To save a little money, I would purchase a pre-built frame and have the matting custom cut to fit my work. Every so often they would run 50% on frames which is when I would go in. That was cheaper than having Michael’s build a custom frame, even with Michael’s offering 50% off. No matter where I have gone, Michael’s has always been overpriced.
Today, I am hoping to pick up two of my photos which were accepted into the 2007 juried photography show at Arts Clayton. I used a local artist who runs a framing shop from her home. She had recently built another small building on her property and moved some of her studio and all of her framing to the building. She has wonderful prices.  Once I get the frames back I will work up a review so that any of the local creative types around Henry County will have another solid source for framing.
