Greetings!

As we finish another busy holiday season at the shop, we want to share the sense of accomplishment and purpose that are the gifts you give to us each year. It gives us all great pleasure to help you frame gifts each holiday season. Every December hundreds of people in our area open framed presents given by people who were thoughtful enough to take some time to create something meaningful. Sharing your creative energy makes all our holiday hard work and long hours worthwhile.

We have a surprise Member's Coupon at the bottom of the page!
Start with Art!

We invite you to start the New Year off with an infusion of art! Many people look for art to finish off a room design, but starting with art in mind offers bold new possibilities. Start with a piece you love, and it is easy to bring color accents in to the room design. With "Art That Fits" by Artaissance you can order art in just the right size for your space.

See our Artaissance Page for custom sized art possibilities on your choice of canvas or paper. Need help? Ask us about residential or commercial art consultation.

Coming soon to our shop, Cattail Creek, a giclee print on canvas by Stephen Henning, an award-wining American impressionist painter from Minnesota.  Henning was a graphic designer and creative director for 15 years before beginning his career as a painter. Since the 1990's, Henning has developed a distinctive style of American impressionism, creating super scale original still life paintings in an impressionistic style. He often begins his paintings outdoors, in the traditional "Plein Aire" style, then finishes his painting in the studio.

Learn more about Stephen Henning and see more examples of his art, all available as custom sized giclees by Artaissance.

Join Jim Fishman, pictured here with one of
his many finished framing projects, and help us create a Framer's Workshop Fan Club web page!

Have your picture taken with your completed art and tell us about what you framed, or just give us some feedback, and we'll include you in our upcoming web page.

Jim says, "I love framing my own art at The Framer's Workshop. It's homey, fun, economical, and supportive. Every time I leave the shop, I drive back to San Francisco with a beautifully framed art work and an open-hearted experience."

--Jim Fishman, psychotherapist & self-trained artist from San Francisco.
