High-quality, consistent, and fair pricing…read more I've had at least 10 pieces framed by West Roxbury Framing over the past year, and they have been consistently excellent. It is rare to find a shop that delivers on the "triple threat" of quality, price, and speed, but they manage all three. Moses and Jake are incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. The craftsmanship is top-tier and the pricing is very reasonable for the level of work. What I appreciate most is their accountability - on the rare occasion there was an issue with a measurement or material, they were happy to resolve it quickly and professionally. They truly stand behind their work. Highly recommended for anyone in the neighborhood looking for reliable, high-quality framing.

In the two years since my last review of A Street Frames (ASF), I have had them frame 6 dozen art…read moreworks, collectible posters, and ephemera. I not only recommend ASF, I rely on them to advise, frame, and protect extremely valuable and important paintings, drawings, prints, assemblages, and collectibles. ASF stands behind their quality work which begins with pick up/intake, suggestions for best exhibiting items, and constructions that are precise and sturdy. The prices at ASF are not only competitive, they are beyond reasonable, if not inexpensive, for 5 star frames. On the rare occasion I require rapid turnaround, ASF is accommodating. Even more important, expedience does not sacrifice quality nor does it incur added expense. ASF is the best of the best.

I can't believe this place doesn't have a review!…read more I've been to probably a dozen custom framing shops in my life - A Street is far and away as good as it gets. This is a review of the one in Cambridge, I think they have other locations, but I've never been to any of those. Here's the deal... Service - the two ladies that work at A Street are probably the sweetest most amazing people I've ever interacted with in a retail setting. They don't rush anyone, they help you make good framing decisions, and they genuinely love art and framing and making customers happy. I've been there three times in total, and these ladies know my name, they remember who I am, etc. Prices - custom framing is expensive. I don't exactly know how these guys "stack up" because it's a very difficult service to comparison shop. My guess is these guys are a little more expensive than your average framing shop. I felt VERY well treated with regard to price. Quality - A Street is a very rare bird. They actually make many of their frames in house.... so they are actually a TRUE custom framer. This means that they actually modify and create frames from scratch all the time. I just brought in a painting that was an odd size, and they are going to mill out the rabbit so that it fits perfectly into the back of the frame! Go ask a regular "custom" framing shop to do something like that and they will look at you like you have three heads. These guys suggested it to me! The frames they stock are top notch, many are made in-house. A Street supplies to other framers as well... so they havea manufacturing arm. Timeliness - Sooo if you are in a huge rush, I'm not sure this is the place for you. I wouldn't know since I've never actually asked them to rush anything. I generally am cool with waiting several weeks or longer. Long story short, in my opinion, this is a place that values quality and execution over price and speed. The people are exceptional, the work quality is amazing (I think I am having my tenth thing framed with them), and you will be extremely pleased. I would run, not walk, here.

Feet of Clay is a cooperative pottery studio in Brookline, MA. The studio offers various levels of…read moreclasses and membership. Anyone interested in learning wheel-throwing, hand-building or pottery in Japanese should check this place out. If you're a clay artist, you can also join the studio as a general member with access to all of the public space, equipment, glazes and tools. With various levels of membership, you join as a semi-private member where you receive your own storage shelves or a private member where you receive your own space. The studio has tons of wheels, multiple work tables, electric kilns and slab roller. All members and students are required to buy their own clay. Members get 24 hour access allowing for full flexibility especially for artists with jobs. I highly recommend visiting this studio for anyone interested in working with clay-- from beginners taking their first class to serious artists looking for working spaces.

He dismissed my questions putting me off in a truly condescending tone. He said no one there would have the time to show me around the studio and that he himself had classes to teach. Then he informed me that there was a waiting list of 50 or 60 people to get into the studio and in other words, just bug off. He clearly wasn"t going to give me the time of day. Happily, I did bug off. And I was grateful to know what kind of people I would have been dealing with had I not had the heads up he gave me.

They weren't interested in selling…read morethem, but they responded with detailed information about each artwork and a rough idea of value based on recent sales by the artists. Which makes it so much easier for me to know how to move forward in trying to sell them. Let me add... NOBODY DOES THIS. For some reason other art dealers keep their info and any sense of what paintings are worth to themselves when they turn you down. Like it's some big mystery they're not allowed to speak of. So I am super grateful for Andrew's kind and generous sharing of this information and I wouldn't hesitate to go back to them when I have more art I'm looking to sell. Thank you!
