They're cut, assembled, and fitted all by hand which means every frame has a personal touch, which I really like. It's also really convenient that Jerry will come to your home or workspace and personally consult or hang framed pieces for you! He's a master of the craft and has been framing for around 40 years and is a very trustworthy framer. I highly recommend Eisley Fine Art for custom framing of fine art, historical pieces, or workspace-related needs.

But Knock on Wood turned a cheap box from Walmart into a beautiful and affordable gift. Including the box itself, they only charged $30 to stain and engrave it.

I'll definitely be going back here for future keepsake boxes!

This is a small, unassuming gallery and frame shop and most of you have probably never heard of…read moreOrchard Gallery because as far as I know it has never been written about in any of the local press. Part of that is because the owners, a very nice and unassuming Korean couple, don't seem to be too concerned with the press. As far as I know, they don't even send out press releases (at least to me), although they do participate in the monthly Bethesda Art Walks. But they are doing something right that seems to have escaped most galleries these days: they are selling a lot of artwork. When I first walked into Orchard a few years ago, I was expecting to find the usual mediocre art that one finds on the walls of most art venues that rely on framing as a business. I was pleasantly surprised not only by the quality of the artwork (at the time they were showing a recent MICA MFA graduate whose name escapes me now), but also by the fact that the framing business does not interfere with the art gallery space at all. It's a clean, minimalist art space. The owners were very nice and warm, and were genuinely surprised when I identified myself (they had no idea who I was anyway), described what I do, and then told them that I really liked the work. I also noted that there were a lot of red dots. Over the next couple of years, every time that I find myself around Norfolk Avenue, I drop by into Orchard to check out their shows. I haven't been WOW'd every time, but I've never been disappointed. It is clear that the owners have a particular taste and sensibility that is working for them. And I've always seen a lot of red dots. What's even more refreshing is that in these times of austere fiscal environments, when galleries are closing all over the nation, and where they turn away new artists by the droves, Orchard's website still says: "We encourage local and emerging artists to contact us for details on our monthly gallery exhibits." Orchard, my kudos to you. Keep doing whatever you are doing to put original artwork on peoples' walls.

I have used Washington Framers Workroom many times since 201, for both for DIY framing and custom…read moreframing. I have always been impressed by the quality of their work and the professionalism of their staff. They have been a huge help to me as I got work ready to deliver to numerous group and solo exhibitions. Some of my pieces are three dimensional paper works that present particular challenges. Staff at Framers Workroom developed a special structure to present my folded paper lenticular pictures. They have also framed my work in shadowbox frames. I have had times when I needed to get a lot of work ready at once for exhibitions and they've been wonderful helping me meet deadlines. They have a wide selection of mats and have given me great advice on selecting the best choices for each piece. As an exhibiting artist, I view them as valuable partners in my practice.

I've had a 7 of my photographs framed here in the past two years and initially I was really…read morepleased but their work does not age well. Two of my pieces are hanging in an exhibition right now that I had framed here exactly one year ago. The prints are warped and wavy under the glass now. I suppose I should have asked if they would mount the prints first but that is standard ( and they didn't ask me if I wanted it mounted so I assumed it would be). It's framing 101 with paper work- it will warp if it is not mounted and for the prices they charge they should have mounted the photos before framing. I'm horrified as I sold 3 of the seven I framed here and gifted another two - I'm horrified to think how those works look now. I am an actively exhibiting artist and I thought I had found my " forever framers" . I am very disappointed at the professionalism of this place and I do not recommend their services to anyone. --------Added IN REPLY TO THEIR RESPONSE on google : I have several pieces of photographic work framed over 10 years ago that are not waving under the glass. That is because the job was done properly. The works I have hanging right now have been stored in an air conditioned climate controlled space so blaming me here isn't going to work. Yes paper work will wave under glass if not properly stored but also if not properly framed, as you seem to know this then the you either 1-take the proper precautions while framing 2- bring it up and ask the client if that is a concern for them. I figured you were just doing it the proper way, I should not have assumed that is my fault. However at the prices charged for the work close to 300$ for each work and for what looks like a professional work space I assumed you would treat my work as the professional work that it is. You have one job as the name of the business implies. One can only conclude that you are cutting corners, cost saving or being sloppy, none of these are acceptable when it comes to business. A customer should not have to ask for the basics of framing BUT if they don't ask then it is your obligation to bring it up. Again you have one job- framing. As to writing this review before coming to you, the work is already hanging (embarrassingly) in a show at a museum. The other works have gone to their new owners (embarrassingly) and I have to live with knowing that the clients will think I delivered shoddy non archival work to them not realizing I was being taken advantage of by the framers. As I said I am a working artist and have been for a while, I sell work and have had work framed all over the world. This is the worst experience I have ever had. For the record - these prints are made a high quality archival photographic paper. A framer is the last stop in work being presented to the world and your establishment would do well to take that more seriously in the future. You are only as good as the work you put out into the world. That goes for everyone. What is done is done now. Coming to you when the show is over is pointless, my poorly framed work is hanging in a museum and my reputation is damaged because you guys couldn't do your job. Do better.
