Custom Framing / Travel Art Framing
Frame Place frames the art people bring back from traveling: street artist pieces, market finds, rolled canvas and paper from anywhere in the world. We flatten, stretch, or mat what the piece needs, then frame it so the trip stays on your wall.
It is one of our favorite jobs and one of the most common: someone comes home from a trip with a rolled-up piece they bought from a street artist in Paris or a market stall in South America, and it sits in a tube for a year. Bring it in instead.
Travel pieces often need real preparation: flattening rolled paper, stretching canvas, or building a mat around an odd size. That is normal work here, and the finished frame is what finally makes the piece part of your home.
Good To Know
Rolled canvas from street artists, watercolors from market stalls, prints from museum shops, textiles, papyrus, batik, sketches bought on a bridge somewhere. Most arrive in a tube or folded in a suitcase, and most have been waiting far longer than their owners meant them to.
Sizes are rarely standard, which is exactly what custom framing is for. The frame gets built to the piece, whatever proportions the artist chose.
Rolled paper and canvas are flattened or stretched, depending on the material, so the surface sits flat before framing. Folded pieces are trickier than rolled ones, but bring it in anyway: we will look at the actual creases and tell you honestly what can be done.
Preparation is what varies: a flat print needs only mat and frame, while a rolled canvas needs stretching first and a textile needs mounting. Bring the piece and we will price the real options in front of you, free. It is almost always less than people expect after a year of putting it off.
No appointment. Bring the piece to the shop and we look at it together.
