Greetings!

June is a month of celebrations, especially here at The Framer's Workshop. Whether it is the graduation of a college or high school student, a wedding, Father's Day or, in our case, an anniversary, The Framer's Workshop can help you create and frame an extra special gift. The first two weekends of June are also East Bay Open Studios  (below, left) with opportunities to purchase visual arts and crafts directly from the East Bay's many talented artists. We at The Framer's Workshop are here to help you with your June celebrations!

Now is the time to create a special gift for your Dad, your brother, your grandfather, your son, your uncle, or your best friend.
Here are a few ideas for thoughtful gifts that he will love.
 
Frame a photo of his children! Perhaps a baby photo or a group portrait, or a photo of last summer's vacation. Get one of those photos off the computer and into a beautifully framed gift. We can do the printing for you from your photo or digital file.

Restore and frame an old family photo. We'll handle all the details from scanning to restoration, and printing to framing. See more examples of Heritage Framing HERE.

You can find examples of our photo restoration service on our Digital Restoration Page. 
  
Celebrate a Graduate
June is that time of year   

Create a Graduation Poster
Have a UC Berkeley graduate in the family? We can help you celebrate their graduation with a personalized poster of the Campanile, printed any size you'd like, up to 24 by 36 inches.  
 
Customized poster creation is a new service we are offering here at The Framer's Workshop. We can produce a poster from an image we acquire for you or from your own digital image, printed almost any size you need. Custom posters are perfect for high school or college graduations and many other celebrations. Be sure to talk with one of our sales staff about the variety of personalized printing services we offer here at The Framer's Workshop. 
Congratulations Paris & Jen
There's a New Dad in the shop!

Owen at Week 1 
Some of you may have noticed that Paris has not been in the shop lately. That's because he is home with his wife, Jen, and their new baby, Owen!  Paris plans to be back at work during the summer but beginning in the fall he will stay home with Owen as a full time Dad. We are so happy for them all! 
Welcome New Framers
Lee and Tanya

Tanya and Lee 
New Framers, Tanya and Lee
We're pleased to introduce two new framing associates: Tanya and Lee.

Tanya has had many years of framing experience. In addition, she attended the San Francisco Art Institute and graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a degree in Fine Art painting. Outside of art and art history, Tanya is interested in homeopathy and practices Bikram yoga.

Lee is new to picture framing but not to art. He studied Art and Design at the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida. After school, Lee lived in Greece for several months supporting himself through farm work, construction and carpentry when not visiting and sketching the ancient sites. As a painter, Lee is interested in archetypal mythological themes populated with contemporary super heroes.
