In the June 27, 2021, issue of WBB there was a request for recommendations on where to have custom framing done. Subscribers offered three good suggestions:
• Excellent custom framing can be found at The Art Box. There are two locations, one in Crozet (434-989-0032) and the other is in Charlottesville (434-295-5426) in the shopping center next to Foods of All Nations. They provide excellent artistic advice on framing. We’ve had four large paintings framed and can highly recommend them. Submitted by Jackie Castro.
• We have had great success with framing at Michaels in Waynesboro (540-942-7813). There’s a framing center in the store and they framed two pieces for us earlier this year. Michael’s staff was very professional and helped us select the correct mats, glass, and frames. We had one very old pastel that had to be handled very carefully and a more recent lithograph. Both pieces are now beautifully framed and hanging in our Wintergreen home. Submitted by Catherine Parker.
* Audrey Haynie also reported to WBB that she has had custom framing at Michaels in Waynesboro many times and she loves their work.
• We can thoroughly recommend Fast Frame in Charlottesville. They have undertaken a wide variety of work for us on a number of original watercolors of different sizes, reframing, repairing, etc. It is an owner-operated family store; there is no pressure. The customer’s needs come first. Professional, friendly, the work is ready when the owners say it will be and it is completed to a high standard. Call them at 434-978-7874; email verncoframes@gmail.com. Submitted by James Oglethorpe.
