I initially went to Blick in Tempe for custom framing for my fine art colored pencil piece and realized that the pricing was steeper than I had expected. The staff person in the store recommended considering a standard size premade frame and then having a mat cut and selecting my glass. It was a perfect solution as I was able to get the mat I wanted and UV glass I needed it. I learned a new process and would recommend Blick Tempe.

I went in with two framed prints, one with broken glass and the other with no hanging apparatus bc the frame was metal and I couldn’t attach wire. Kat (Cat?) was great and both prints were ready same day. Very profound and friendly.

Kat is very talented and does amazing work. I’m planning on going back to her with a canvas that needs framing. Wish that I knew about Blick’s framing service earlier!

Kat did an amazing job framing my cross stitch pieces. They look beautiful! We had a budget, and we were still able to work everything out.
