I needed some photographic images framed and had just recently moved from Chicago so was not sure…read morewhere to get this project done. Through a search online, we found Norton's Fine Art and Framing. I'm very happy with the customer service, level of professionalism, creativity and skill of the people at Norton's. Owner Mary Norton shepherded my project and was a pleasure to work with. The project was creating a shadow box using 3 photographic images. The backstory... I'm a former photojournalist and pretty particular about how my work looks. In the 80's I created hand-made Christmas cards by printing 4x6 images of my work, then mounted the prints to 4x6 black mat board, making them a similar size to postcards and mailing them out. My mother-in-law saved all the cards sent her and gave them to my youngest daughter recently. My daughter spoke of her plans to have a shadow box made with her 3 favorites. I decided as a Christmas gift, I would surprise her by framing them. Mary is personable and her knowledge of framing options is extensive. Our discussion included type and depth of the frame, order of the images and type and color of matte board. A deep frame black frame was chosen for the piece. Since it was a deep frame, she suggested having each image at a different depth from the back of the piece, giving the artwork additional visual interest. After working through several iterations of various blacks and grays, I landed on two mats, both the same black with a grain. She suggested the grained mat board be cut in in one direction for the first mat and in opposite direction on the second mat. Since the grain reflected light in different way, the mat boards looked slightly different, but yet are the same mat. The side of the postcard with the postmarked stamp, the address and the Christmas greeting was not able to be seen, but Mary photocopied them at the original size and mounted them on the back of the shadow box. So it showed the uniqueness of the original work. It was a stunning presentation. When my daughter received the gift, she said it was the best Christmas gift she's received. Norton's Fine Art and Framing will be involved with all my framing going forward. I would put their work on par with any art I had framed when I living in Chicago.

The attention to detail and care they gave when describing the process and helping us choose our frame/mat was exceptional. They had so many frames to choose from, so that expertise was well appreciated. We dropped off our print just before Easter and were told there was a months-long backlog, but we could expect the print back in 4 months or so. It ended up taking 6 months to complete. We were out of town when they finally finished, so they kindly hung onto our work for another month before went to pay and pick up. While the project took longer than expected, we were appreciative of the kindness shown by the staff member who helped us and we would definitely return to have other things framed for our home.

We were eventually let into the store and directed to the shop basement where the class took place. Our class instructor was laid back but very knowledgeable throughout the process. He guided us on how to cut and arrange our glass pieces and had a few examples available for inspiration. I will say...the glass cutting was a little dangerous with tiny glass shards flying in all directions. I do wish I was instructed beforehand to bring protective eyewear just in case. My friend got a few cuts on her hands as well. The shop had a large variety of glass colors to choose from and it was very fun to get creative with our projects. We each made 3 glass suncatchers during our ~2-hour class. It was a real "trust the process" experience, as I was not sure how my pieces would turn out after arranging my glass. However, they turned out beautifully! We were instructed to wait one week to come pick up our pieces after they were fired at the shop. They kindly placed holes in our pieces to hang, but only provided string. I decided to reinforce my suncatchers with jump rings and chain. I love how they turned out!!
