Scarily tempting…read more I've had a surprising number of articles framed by Tom and the attentive staffers at Artworks, personal items and also prints, photographs and art in my capacity running a briefing center at Tivoli and they have never disappointed. They even shadow-boxed and framed my old license plate without batting an eyelash. The framing is done artfully, stylishly, quickly and always ready on time. The suggested colors for matting and molding are always pleasing to the eye, and the end result is an article that looks just as it should on any wall. There is a complete restoration department as well, for old photos or paintings that need a little TLC. Their framing work is not inexpensive, but it is always perfect and worth it. But the gallery of art and artisanal crafts which comprises the well-lit space on West 6th is killing me. It's impossibly beautiful stuff, and increasingly hard to get out of there without spending a small fortune. There is even a room full of art deco and period barware. Crystal, blown glass, woodcraft, metal sculpture, mirrors, art glass--carefully chosen and curated, it's like a museum of fine craftwork and I hate it--it's that good. The nefarious plan has you in the store, waiting for a few minutes as your framed work is produced from out back when something, invariably catches your eye. Damn. I'm wise to you Artworks. I'm keeping my shades on and staring at the wall of frame samples and leaving with my wallet intact.

I love this place! I finally stopped in after a Whole Foods bacon run (3 lbs of thickest-cut…read moreApplewood, baby) to find that Artworks still has fantastic collections of stemware and some barware, as well as reasonably-priced, interesting art, in a sunny, beautiful room. I remember first coming here in the late 90's to frame an etching from my trip to Venice and receiving a student discount. At their suggestion, it was framed between two panes of glass to excellent effect, not something I'd have considered myself. Today I nearly bought a gorgeous snifter for $36, or a set of cordial glasses from the 40's for about the same. I'll be back when I have a larger apartment -- and when I again drink alcohol. I've uploaded a photo of the bronze shelf-fish I bought here over 10 years ago.

To their credit, they redid it, but the second one had even more issues.

I suggest going elsewhere for framing, but again, their selection of art is really great.

I could've spend all day there picking out different frame/art combinations! Jennifer was also extremely helpful! She definitely has an eye for design and was able to help me select wonderful frame, mat, and art combinations. I requested a special glass because I don't like to see the glare on the glass when I'm looking at the art. She was able to find glass that reduces the glare too. Overall, I'd highly recommend the vintage framing studio! Your art will be unique and Jennifer's work is top notch. I also found it to be very affordable compared so some of the big stores or getting it done online!

It was a relief to find a framing shop in Austin that delivered high quality custom framing service…read morewith reasonable pricing. My previous experience custom framing was that anything remotely close to high quality will cost a small fortune, and the primary way to save money is to go with non-solid wood frames, non-museum quality glass, and to cut more corners, so to speak. I took a custom-sized print to Aleksander's and Jo Dean was a spectacular help in deciding on the right frame, matte and glass combination, and she was happy to answer my detailed questions about her framing process as well. I have been very satisfied with the finished product (with solid wood and museum-quality glass) which came in around 1/2 the price quoted at Fast Frame, and plan to return with future additional artwork in need of custom framing.

Malu was clearly very passionate, creative, and knowledgeable when it came to picking out specific frames and mattings to really make our items pop (she was very patient in allowing us to look through various samples until we found the pefect combinations for each piece). Pricing was super transparent and fair, lead time to get the framing was great especially for being during the holiday season, and Malu was super communicative throughout the process. The shop itself was very warm and welcoming. Malu does a great job of hanging pieces throughout the space so you can get a sense of the options and styles that are available. We will definitely be back for our future framing needs!

A loved one passed away a few months ago. In going through their belongings, I came across an item…read morethat immediately had immense sentimental value for my family and I knew it had to be professionally framed. By chance, I visited Blue Skies Art & Frame shop on the first or second day of its opening. I had not scheduled an appointment and Malu wasn't quite yet ready to be able to serve a walk in. I mentioned I would be leaving town for a month or two that same day so I, unfortunately, would not be able to schedule an appointment around that time. I was very understanding as to why I couldn't be helped but to my pleasant surprise she accommodated me without hesitation. Malu guided me through the process with such patience and positivity that I left knowing my personal item was in the best possible place and in the best possible hands. Malu kept me informed on the progress throughout the process, which I appreciated. After months went by, I finally returned to Austin and her shop. I still remember seeing the finished product for the first time hanging on her wall and immediately being blown away. The frame absolutely exceeded my expectations, and I could not be happier with how it came out. Even though Malu had been busy the months prior getting her business set up, she still remembered how important the item was to me and treated it and me with care to the very last moment. The fact that the frame came out beautifully and my family loves it, is the cherry on top. I'm not one to write reviews, but this is the best framing experience I've ever had, hands down. Malu is a great person, extremely talented, and you can trust her to deliver high-quality work.
