When members of the Trust had a dedication deadline after the purchase of The Sperling Preserve in Santa Barbara County, they called The Framer’s Workshop to produce 40 framed photographs of the land, along with individual title window thanking the various donors. Each frame was individually wrapped with the donor’s name on the outside for easy presentation. The project was finished on time and within budget.

McKesson Corporation

When the McKesson needed an end of year corporate gift with a California theme, we helped them choose a small high quality Ansel Adams poster as a token of their appreciation. We paired these with title windows which individually thanked each contributor. The posters were then framed in simple grey metal frames with ultraviolet protecting Plexiglas™ for worry-free air transport.

Photographer Stephen Lefkovits asked us to visit Appian Capital to help them choose photographs from his collection for their office walls. We met with executives there and after talking a careful look at their offices, suggested several of Steve’s beautiful nature photos in sizes that would perfectly fit their walls. We also helped design wall décor for an executive’s office, integrating a personal collection with photographic art on three walls. Colors and placement were carefully planned to maintain a professional, yet personal style throughout the office.

When Lore International, a world leader in executive education, needed a framer to handle a rush job for their leadership development class for the California Health Leadership College, they chose The Framer’s Workshop because we had the experience and facilities to handle the job. Our challenge was to help them design a set of 25 frames which could easily be opened by class participants. Each frame had mat windows for a photo and certificate The workshop participants were to be presented with completion certificates and a last minute class photo, which they would pass around and sign, and then put together in the prepared frames at the class site. We made this easy for them by designing a double opening mat, hinged to a double thick foamcore backing. We installed turn buttons on each Micahel Faye frame so that they could easily be taken apart and put back together in the class. We delivered the individually wrapped frames to The Claremont Hotel on the last morning of the class so that the leaders did not have to worry about storing them beforehand.
