The Framing Trade Shows

posted by framers on Jan 4th, 2008 at 8:18 pm

This year six of us are attending the West Coast Art and Frame Show and The Professional Picture Framer's Association (PPFA) convention in Las Vegas during the last week of January, 1/27-2/2. There will still be plenty of help at the shop and we are staggering our days away, but if you want to see Kirstie, Jeff, Sarah, Lisa, Hugo, or Jenette, please call in advance to check our schedules.

We strongly believe in continuing technical education, so we have scheduled seven days of classes in topics such as, new advances in hinging heavy and light objects, improvements in canvas stretching, advanced fabric wrapping, advanced computerized mat cutting, and much much more! We are enrolled in over 32 different classes and will take part in numerous discussions with framers who come to this
once-a-year event from all over the world. Of course we'll have some fun together too!

We will also scour the framing and photo marketing trade shows for the best new mouldings, fabrics, and techincal innovations, so that we may continue to offer you the very best selection, service, and value in the Bay Area.
