I do not have a lot of experience getting things framed. When I do, I'm somewhat shocked at the…read moreprice! Everything adds up quickly and I've spent 200 bucks on a frame\glass\matting before. Probably why I don't have too much experience! I have a concert poster from Dead and Company that is very dear to me, it was a great night celebrating my birthday with some good friends. Had another one from the Black Keys this year that also deserved framing. So I stopped into the Framers Market Gallery which happens to be right around the corner from me to get some ideas of what it would cost...I am SOOO happy I did! Aileen(sp?) was working the counter and she is good at her job! So glad I went with her recommendations! The Black Keys one she figured out quickly and I'm very happy with it! She looked longer at the Dead and Co poster and ran a couple ideas past me...I'd never have thought this, but she suggested I use 2 frames!?! A blue one on the inside, to pickup the blue from the poster, and a black one outside, which would match my other artwork. I wasn't sure how it would look when done, but liked the idea, and it was actually cheaper with 2 frames than using matting... Think it took about 2 weeks and I was so happy with them both! The Dead and Co poster just blows me away, I love it! It was also cheaper than my previous framing experiences, so double the recommendation! Thank you Aileen, I'll be back with more!

One of the Best Businesses in the Area - Not Just for Framing…read more Went here to get some Christmas presents framed and I was so taken back by the kind service I received. The younger gentleman (sorry, wish I got his name!) laid everything out on the table for me, gave me options and pricing, and there was absolutely no pressure to go with anything more expensive. The worst thing about some places like this - they give you pricing, then you say it's too much and then they say "well, if you take this out, we can make it cheaper" and you're sitting there negotiating as if you're buying a used car. That wasn't an issue here. Completely straightforward, no pressure sales, and gave his honest opinion multiple times and even recommended a cheaper option (without me telling him what my price range was) for one of the pictures. I love places like this and I love the time they spent with me to talk through a simple framing job. This should be everyone's go to framing place!

As we drove by the Goggleworks building on a visit to see my son, he mentioned that it was known…read morefor its arts programs and we should check it out. I visited the Goggleworks website (www.goggleworks.org) and was impressed with the options available. Via email, I inquired with my questions and was answered immediately. We ultimately chose a private glassblowing session. Remember when you are choosing to partake in these artisanal sessions, you are paying for the artisan's expertise and sharing of knowledge . So at first glance, it may seem pricey. However, given the experience as a whole, it does NOT disappoint! Our instructor Andrew was awesome! His energy and passion matched our excitement. He made our experience so much more fun with his anecdotes about the glassblowing. He explained everything in detail; we never felt rushed or uncomfortable about our skill level. There were four of us in our glassblowing session. He expertly guided us in the best artisan experience I have ever had. For our glassblowing class, we all chose to make drinking glasses. Each of us chose different color palettes to match our varying personalities. Of course, due to the nature of glassblowing, it was a very HOT experience but we were dressed accordingly and hydrated throughout. After we each had our turn, our glasses were immediately placed in a temperature-controlled device (I can't remember its name) to slowly cool the glass down and prevent cracking. We were not permitted to take the glasses home but rather had to come back another day to pick them up. After our session, we headed back to the main Goggleworks building to check out the art exhibits, gift store, and (what I'll call) the artist alley of artisans' work spaces and offices. We spent lots of time enjoying the space and speaking with varying artists. Turns out that the space is a former goggles factory that was used back in the 1800s and the space takes great care in preserving its history. It's soooo cool. It was truly enjoyable!! I highly recommend Goggleworks! This is one of my most memorable experiences!! I can't wait to see our glasses. Note: We arrived early to have breakfast at the onsite cafe, Thorn Alley Kitchen (see separate Yelp review for more details).

It is an absolutely beautiful building and all of the art is amazing. Some pieces you are able to buy which I find very cool!

And by other reviews you can see that they've had consistently great business for years and years and years. I just brought with me to Illinois one of the very large pieces they had framed They offer a unique and perfect system for hanging a piece which makes it very easy to level. In my move I lost some of the hardware. They graciously sent me replacement pieces and I am so happy to have the wonderfully framed peace now hanging again with me in my temporary apartment in Illinois. The way I found North Penn Art was by entering a photo contest. It was suggested to use North Penn Art to print and mat our pieces. We could go anywhere we wanted but they mentioned North Penn Art. If professional photographers use a certain printing and framing place you know it's going to be good. And it is!!! THANK YOU TEAM NORTH PENN ART!! ~Diane
