I recently had a large canvas (59" x 75") that needed to be stretched onto a gallery-style frame,…read moreand I visited four different framing companies to get quotes. Among them, Affordable Framing in Tempe stood out by a mile, thanks to Kirtis, the owner. From the moment I walked in, Kirtis was incredibly knowledgeable yet personable with a sense of humor to match my own. He was honest and straightforward, taking the time to explain how the costs aligned with the steps needed to complete my project. His genuine interest in my portrait was evident, and it made the entire experience feel personalized and trustworthy. Not only was his quote lower than most of the other companies, but he also completed the project in half the time others had projected. The quality of the work exceeded my expectations, and the entire process was smooth and efficient. I already have several future framing projects in mind, and I know exactly where I'll be going -- directly to Affordable Framing. No more wasting time shopping around across Phoenix. The best work always comes from someone who takes the time to understand their customers and asks the right questions to ensure the scope of work matches their needs. I couldn't be happier with how this project turned out. It's now the centerpiece of my entryway, and everyone who visits is talking about it. I'm thrilled with the outcome and grateful for the exceptional service I received. I'm happy to share the completed piece below -- I'm still blown away!

This shop is under new ownership and isn't as good anymore. I have had many items framed there…read moreover the years but my most recent experience with the new owners was not too great. 1. I took a large print to be rematted. The new owner tried to sell me everything he had, such as a new frame (because this one has a scratch), new glass (because this one glares), triple matting (which I went for). I just felt like I was the subject of too much selling. It wasn't pleasant. 2. I requested to have the print delivered and hung. The owner said he knew a company who could do that and we agreed on a specific date. On the morning of that date, I called to find out when the person would be coming. The owner: "Oh, I was going to call you. That company doesn't return phone calls." I wonder if he really was planning to call me because in the two week period between order and delivery date, he never did. Needless to say, the picture didn't get delivered or hung that day. The owner did set me up with another company who delivered it, hung it and did a fine job. But I think I will find a new frame shop.

I was surprised to find they had a really great selection of embroidery floss. They had a lot of materials for different types of projects and many areas that gave good inspiration on trying new art forms. They also do custom framing. The front area and by the register also had fun gift ideas and trinkets. And there's a huge selection of Monster spray paint.

I honestly cannot believe I have not been here before this recent visit, as I love crafting, but…read moreusually had gone to the Joann's down the street (RIP). I was on the hunt for some specific paper for bookbinding and was not disappointed by the options. Not only did I find the blank paper I needed, I found a great selection of more specialty and fun paper as well as stationary pens and a few other basic bookbinding materials. They have much more than that though, including all your arts and craft needs, paints, pens, pencils, canvas, etc and fun trinkets, cute stationary type such as journals, stickers, etc. The prices are all very reasonable and they do offer student/teacher discounts. They were running a back to school donation drive for the local schools, which you received a 20% coupon for a return visit. It's only downfall is the parking, alas it is on campus and shared space with lots of high traffics restaurants and groceries, but if you don't find a spot right away, usually a lap or two will do it.

They even had a huge sale on canvases so I had to get a big canvas. Do I paint? I guess now I do, and now I have another art store nearby for supplies and inspiration! They also have a lot of frame types i wasn't even aware existed, like specifically for stretched canvas, etc. And actually I do have a canvas in need!

J-Wow Fact: I majored in graphic design…read more Yes, it's true. You can't tell by my kindergarten stick figure drawings, but I majored in fine arts AKA my parents' nightmare. With all that said, Jerry's is a delight. I came here as an art student and I still come here now. My niece is into the arts, so popping in here for birthday and holiday gifts is a no-brainer. I pick up the occasional items for myself as well. Canvases, paints, any marker or pen you need, et cetera. It's a great shop to fulfill all your artsy needs!
