Custom Framing Your Japanese Woodblock Print in San Francisco
When we started framing this fine art print of Kawase Hasui’s Snow at Funabori Woodblock from 1932, we wanted to give it a framed look that fits the era of the print and the art movement it came from. We chose a rather contemporary, minimal frame design because Hasui was one of Japan’s most important […]
Framing A Signed Lichtenstein Screen Print
Roy Lichtenstein signed this limited edition screen print from 1070 in pencil. We loved the limited color palette of black and white with a highlight of yellow and continued this in our custom frame design. Our double mat echoes these colors with a thin black and yellow core. The frame itself is industrial looking and […]
We just build a shadowbox for acrylic paint covered silverware!
We love the creativity in this colorful in acrylic paint covered silverware. Our frame design is a sleek shadowbox: We mounted the knife, fork and spoon art on a fabric mat. The walls of the shadowbox frame are also covered with the same fine textured fabric that compliments the bold texture of the dried acrylic […]
A Balanced Frame Design For Oakland Street Artist’s Letterpress
We framed another local artist’s piece: GATS ( graffiti against the system ) . This 12×12 letterpress has such beautiful paper edges, we had to float it and just use a contemporary satin finish black frame to keep the Balance, which is also the name of this print. Please checkout @gatsptv for this street artist’s […]
Custom Frame That Plays With Narrow Shape Of Print
For this sea scape painting we designed a custom frame that plays with the narrow shape of the print. Our client liked the idea of a modern, clean look, so we allowed a little bit of the actual paper to show before the bevel of the mat comes in. The gray narrow frame has a […]

3 Examples How Art Inspired Our Frame Choice
Here are 3 examples how art inspired our frame choice! Each of these unique paintings gave us enough inspiration and direction for our custom frame design. When we start looking at a new framing project we often look for texture, highlights, color and shapes in the art. For the first image, Danys y Liethis, 2005 […]
Framing Art That Deals With The Human Body
It is Friday and we love the way this custom frame we just finished before the weekend starts! The washy finish of the wooden frame mimics the movement of the psychedelic painting and the super clean 8 ply mat creates the perfect contrast in this frame design. Also, when we posted this in our @underglassframing […]
1970’s San Francisco Art Institute (SFAI) Poster Framed
Such a cool art show poster from 1970 for @sfaiofficial. Love the tag line “will patch its walls with this batch” art should be fun, accessible and not taken too seriously. Fun Fact: One of the owners of Underglass attended SFAI’s Photography program, well it wasn’t that affordable even 20 years ago… We love framing […]
Color and Style Choices for Wall Frames
We have so many options when it comes to color and style in picture framing! In the last days we happened to finish some white and off white frames for these great prints! We love the look of each of these frame designs and how the framing styles really work with the art! We can’t […]
