Greetings!
This month we would like to share some of our green framing practices and products with you. The framing industry is making serious efforts to become more environmentally sensitive, and here at the shop we are doing our part. From reuse to recycling and the purchase of green framing products, we invite you to see our Green Framing Page for details. And, be sure to scroll to the very end of this newsletter for one of your favorite coupons: "FREE CUSTOM FRAMING!" |
Studio El: Prints on Bamboo
Studio El features prints
utilizing
revolutionary printer and ink technology, printing directly on the

seen in this John Watson print on eco-friendly sustainable bamboo. Explore The Studio El web site for more custom-sized art on interesting substrates. Many of
these are ready to hang, mounted on aluminum, acrylic or bamboo. This
is a wholesale-only site, so please let us know if you see art you

The Biltmore Collection
Partnering with Biltmore, which has been a sustainable estate since its
opening in 1895, Larson-Juhl has created the Biltmore Collection of
moulding, the first collection certified by the Programme for the
Endorsement of Forest Certification, PEFC, which traces the chain of
custody of the lumber from the forest to the final product so consumers
can be confident they are purchasing from a well-managed, sustainable
forest. Biltmore Collection mat boards are the first FSC mat boards on
the market. These exclusive frame designs are patterned after styles in The Biltmore Estate. The Framer's Workshop is a Premier Dealer of The Biltmore
Collection Frames. Learn more about the Larson-Juhl Biltmore Global promise and view the frames....Learn more about the Biltmore Estate and its forestry program...
