My first thought... is it a wirthwhile drive from Barrington, RI? Normally, I would not make this…read moretrip because of the distance, and my own ignorance about framing shop in general. I am glad I took the trip, however. I came here with a friend to have a special frame made for her friend, whose mother passed away recently. This special gift has to be done with care and some artistic sense. It was a correct choice to come here, and not to generic franchise ones you find in a mall, staffed by underpaid and overworked teens. Not that I have anything against hardworking teens, for a special gift with lots of special memories must be handled by experienced people. When you walk in here, you are awestruck by the spaciousness and the open feel of an old building in a town center. Walls are covered by gorgeous examples of their framing work. Right next to the shop is an art gallery to showcase their work, along with the arts of local artists. I love the concept of combining the art gallery and the framing shop. A great synergy.

The shop also frequently has specials going on, so I would advise following their Facebook and social media pages. Highly recommend! On a side note, I think the reviewer below may actually be referring to a different antiques store on route 1A(in all seriousness, because there actually is another one that deals heavily in chalk paint and painted items)!

He did an amazing job with our photos, we have received countless compliments on both the canvas' themselves and the photos. After hanging all of the artwork we realized that we still needed some more art for the walls due to our large space. At this point we couldn't book another photographer because of our time crunch with opening. Brian offered to help and went above and beyond. We purchased prints and sent them to him at which time he matched the coloring (black and white with greenish/yellowish undertones... which seemed like a difficult color to match but he did it)... he then hand delivered them so we could have our grand opening on time. Overall great quality prints as well as great customer service.

Don't expect to get a business type of greeting. This place is hard to find. No signs and it's tucked away between two businesses. There isn't any parking on site, so you either have to park at the business next door or take the side street, then park in back, then walk all around. (No entrance to get in) There are plenty of statues there, but they look tired and weathered. Some have chips missing. There is no rhyme or reason to the way they're laid out. You figure that religious are together, dogs, and other like items. Everything is out there like: "here's a free space, drop it there" type of layout. We spent 15 minutes walking around, and didn't see anyone there to help or ask questions. I don't know if he had cameras, or was looking out a window, but you figure we should of had someone greet us. BTW we were the only ones there that time on a Saturday afternoon. If your planning on buying one, expect to paint it, because, like I mentioned before, they are tired looking, and many of them were chipped. Looking for a quality piece? Go to the Garden Barn, in Vernon Conn!

Deenie came to the session shaped with a three page information sheet (including reminders about how sharp cut glass is!), pre-cut and beautifully shaped options in several colors that we could select from for the top and bottom layers of our pieces, about 12 colors of paint, glass "chips" to sprinkle on our pieces and larger shaped bars and bits of glass to use for more explicit forms on our pieces, glue and other needed items. I was most impressed by the care Deenie took to demonstrate a number of steps we could take and styles/materials we could select from to make a piece tht was truly "ours", and by her offer of gloves to protect our hands. She provided us each our own "work stations" and a shared marked space for used spoons, toothpicks, etc to ensure that the fresh and altered glass supply wasn't going to get mixed. Deenie clearly communicated the steps we'd need to finish our pieces at home after she fired them for us, and also how long that process would take and where she'd deliver the finished work. She made sure we all labeled our pieces and stored them safely for transport to her kiln for firing. Class ran about two hours, and at the end all of the 15 or so the participants swarmed the tables to see what each of us had created. This class was so much fun! Deenie is a talented artist - and a talented teacher.
