3. Our Story Framers’ Workshop first opened its doors on Washington Street in Brookline Village in 1976. In those days, there were several shops in the Boston area that offered do-it-yourself framing. Today, we’re the only one left. In 1991 we relocated to our current, more spacious, storefront at 64 Harvard Street. And although our crew might change over time, we keep ourselves staffed with sharp and resourceful employees, many of whom have arts backgrounds themselves.

4. Custom Framing If you’d like to leave your framing project in the hands of the professionals, we’ve had plenty of experience framing just about everything. Original art, textiles, sports jerseys, garden tools; you’d have to try pretty hard to stump us. And just because it’s affordable doesn’t mean it’s low quality. We’ll do everything in our power to ensure that you’re happy with your finished product. Custom labor charges typically range from $40 to $60 per piece, in addition to materials.

5. Do It Yourself Framing your own artwork is the best way to save yourself from custom fees and waiting-time. At Framers’ Workshop we have ten do-it-yourself workstations and a collective 100 years of framing know-how. For a $3 shop fee, we’ll help you with your project step-by-step. If you have a question or feel a bit confused —don’t panic— just let us know. If you make a mistake, we’ll correct it to the best of our ability. We’ll even let you bring in your own materials. The whole process usually takes 45-90 minutes per framed piece.
