Dale Rogers division makes custom frames, provides job training
Q: How do people with disabilities assist with the frame-making process?
A: We have trained many people in cutting moulding and glass. They also assemble frames, install hanging hardware and wrap them for delivery. Our individuals like seeing the stacks of things being done. They get to tell their friends, “I get to work on this. This is cool.”
Q: What’s the difference between a ready-made frame and custom framing?
A: For ready-made, you are more or less on your own, and the quality of materials can drastically affect the condition of your artwork over time. Custom framing costs a little more, but using archival components can help ensure your items last as long as possible. Our expertise can help walk you through the process of choosing a mat and frame that will perfectly complement the artwork and look terrific wherever you display it.
Q: What are some of the most unusual pieces you have ever framed?
A: My favorite was framing a wedding dress. I’ve also framed items saved in the sinking of the Titanic. There was a menu, some jewelry and a book. It was very interesting hearing the story and designing framing for each item.
