- Our Services: The Framery has over 3000 mouldings to choose from, in a well-lit and very comfortable frameshop setting! We offer a vast and diverse selection of mouldings featuring solid hardwoods, metals, European-imports, sterling silver/gold leaf as well as moulding from local vendors. The Framery purchases our numerous wood mouldings from vendors nationwide and internationally. However, here at The Framery we understand the importance of supporting local businesses. We make it a priority to strengthen the local economy by purchasing all of our other framing materials such as matboard, foamboard, glass, hardware, and numerous other materials exclusively from a family-owned, Pittsburgh based business. We are part of the community, and we want to show our support for that community wherever we can. The Framery also works with local custom guilders. All of our art products default to archival (acid free mats, backing, conservation glass, museum glass, etc.) The Framery offers its customers a wide variety of materials and will accommodate all requests, including materials that are not generally stocked. Our Services Include But Are Not Limited To: * Custom Mirrors (Beveled Or Plain) * Sports Jerseys * Memorabilia * Shadowboxes * Acrylic Boxes * Oil Paintings * Watercolors * Pastels * Photography * Gift Certificates * Stretching Canvas * Art Restoration * Stained-Glass * Shrink-Wrap

General Info
Experience Susan Bryce Carver is the frame shop manager and has almost 30 years of professional experience in custom picture framing and fine art as well as in design and production. Her framing expertise is proven in all of her work. Simplicity, elegance and perfection are the main characteristics of all of The Framery's finished products. Susan's corporate experience is extensive. Many of her clients are Fortune 500 companies, such as Bank of America, Pacific Gas and Electric, AT&T, Dreyer's and Edy's Grand Ice Cream, Dean Witter Reynolds, and C & H Sugar and many others. Her expertise with deadlines and budgets are great assets when meeting the challenges and demands necessary when working with interior designers, decorators and corporations. (Credentials are available upon request.) The Framery was a concept created in San Francisco almost 15 years ago by owner/artist, Debra Bongiovanni and framer/manager, Susan Carver. After relocating to Pittsburgh many years ago, they settled-in and began creating their dream. Lawrenceville was the ideal and most obvious location to begin this venture. The renewal of this community with its many shops, galleries and restaurants was the borough they found so inviting. After four great years and many fantastic new acquaintances, they both agreed that their shared passion for art, framing, and their love of Pittsburgh has helped the dream of The Framery to unfold.
Reviews
Susan's work is precise, always in good taste and, presented with a challenge, creative as well. I left Pittsburgh a few months ago, but, when I have an important project, I will drive more than half-way across the State to use The Framery. In addition, Susan is great to work with. You won't find a better framer in Pittsburgh, or anywhere else, in my humble opinion
Quality work and very creative. Recently did a wedding present for my son and daughter-in-law - Susan was able to take the photos I gave her and made an outstanding matte that was signed by everyone at the wedding, framed it and now is ready to be given to the happy couple. Great guidance all the way through on what kind of paper to use for the photos and the glass for the picture frame. Very professional and easy to work with.
We came here on a Thursday needing a custom frame for a wedding on Saturday. Susan had it ready for us by late Friday afternoon and it was perfect! She told us exactly what the costs were and where they were coming from, and the price was great. This will be the only place we use for framing from now on.
Best of all, the bride was thrilled!
THANKS Josh! that means alot to me! Pittsburghers seem to do most everything by word-of-mouth, and this will surely help keep me in business! best regards to you both! susan
I am a repeat customer of "The Framery" and the shop is a Diamond amoung gems. You have a choice of over 3,000 frames and all, with the best prices in town. The store itself is nestled amoung other small businesses in lower Lawrenceville and has a comfortable "feel" when you walk in. The turn around is always within a reasonable time frame and what you receive is a quality masterpiece frame for your masterpiece. Don't look any further for any of your framing needs, The Framery is the answer.
If you're looking for reasonable prices and excellant workmanship and quality, then The Framery is your place as well as, mine. Susan, the framer, is exceptional with her work and always makes me feel comfortable with my wants for the artwork. As I stated above, you do not need to search any further, this is THE PLACE!
I have had framing done in various areas of the city and I must say, The Framery, is a "Diamond" among gems. Susan is a master framer that always gives you excellent suggestions for the mats and the frames, not to mention her undivided attention. The Framery was recommended to me and now I recommend The Framery to all my family and friends
The Framery may not appear to be any different from any of the other framing shops in the city, but it is. Susan is a special individual. She genuinely wants you to be happy with your frame, and she has excellent suggestions about what color matting and frame to choose. Susan gave me all the time I needed to suggest and help me pick out my mattings and frames.
Needless to say, I'm a devoted fan. It's the only place I would recommend using. What a gem of a store in the Lawrenceville neighborhood.
I used to get my photos framed at a big box store but never again. I am a devoted customer.
Thanks Susan for everything!
What an absolute pleasure to discover this little Lawrenceville Gem! The manager was well acquainted with her craft and a personable artisan, as well. THE FRAMERYS' prices were reasonable and with only one item framed i will surely return! It does not surprise me that she has a long list of satisfied customers!
A DEFINATE GO-TO! MORE CHOICES THAN ONE WOULD EVER NEED!
