Ready-Made Frames for Quick Framing Projects
In addition to our custom framing services, we offer a carefully selected collection of ready-made frames in our Port Townsend shop. These frames provide a faster framing option for standard artwork sizes while still maintaining the quality materials we believe framing should have.
Our ready-made frames are chosen to reflect the same craftsmanship and design standards used in our custom framing projects.
Stop by the shop to see our current selection, or bring your artwork with you and we can help you choose the best framing option.

Ready-made frames can often be combined with custom matting and upgraded glass to create a semi-custom framing solution.
Many clients choose this option when they want:
• a faster turnaround
• a more economical framing solution
• custom matting with a ready-made frame
UV-protective glass can also be added to most ready-made frames when artwork requires additional protection.
