We framed a lot of colorful art this week
From New Order’s official poster for their 1983 album release, to yellow psychedelic vibes from @sunburntpsyche and a very busy colorful oil painting – We had some amazing art in our San Francisco Frame shops! As you can see there are so many options to design something beautiful for each piece that we get to […]
Stepping into the new week like Kraftwerk
KRAFTWERK is an experimental electronic band formed in Germany in 1970. They are innovators and pioneers of electronic music and among the first successful acts to popularize the genre. Looks like they were also the first to use Gorilla Glue in their hair, but we couldn’t find any concrete evidence about that. This welded frame […]
Happy Friday!
San Francisco keeps us busy with amazing art coming in! Have a look at all the different pieces and the frames we designed: This goopy, pink, lacquer frame stacked around this hammered metal frame is the perfect balance of soft and hard for these original Andy Warhol postcards! These postcards were used to promote a […]
Contemporary Art Framing
We loved the photo of the horse and the canvas print of the forest. Both deserved a minimal design contemporary frame. The photograph got a simple white frame with a glazing that protects from dust and scratches and potential UV damages. The canvas was set in an ebony walnut floater frame as dark as the […]
Simple elegance in art and frame
We love the sense of calm that this photo brings. We kept with simple elegance using a thin whitewash frame straight to the edge; no distractions. Underglass Custom Picture Framing is one of San Francisco’s oldest framing business. We started out on Townsend in the 80s, moved to Church Street in the early 90s, opened […]

Come by our custom frame shops here in San Francisco and see our large selection of custom frame samples, matting options and meet our incredibly knowledgable custom framers who […]
First week of custom framing in the New Year at Underglass
The first week of 2021 couldn’t be more exciting for us! We are busy building custom frames for the wonderful art you dropped off during the last weeks of 2020 – and we are so thankful for all the work you keep bringing to us here at Underglass!
Straight out of our neighborhood – The Castro Theater
This print really has us missing going to the theater! We especially miss the 98 year old San Francisco landmark; the Castro Theater, only a 5 minute walk from our shop through the neighborhood! Rather than playing on the obvious red or gold, we chose the color that’s created by the gold overlapping the red. […]
