Picture Framing Supplies For The Art Gallery

Gallery owners will want to spend a bit of time learning about picture framing.  If you can frame your fine art photographs and paintings yourself, you will save a great deal of money, which is important considering the amount of artwork that will come through a gallery during the course of a year.  You can purchase picture framing supplies in bulk and keep them on hand, so you will have everything at the ready that you will need for framing artwork.

The easiest way to get started with framing is to work with picture framing kits.  These include everything you need to end up with a framed piece of art, such as the frame, glazing, mat and mount boards, and a mechanism for hanging the picture.  You will want to price out individual art framing supplies and then compare that to picture framing kits to see which will be the most economical for use in the gallery setting.

Picture frames are the key component of the art framing supplies that you will need.  Frames come as  ready-made or custom-made picture framing supplies, with differences including ready-mades come in several commonly used sizes and are less expensive than custom-mades, but with custom-mades you have complete control over the size and final appearance of the frame that will enclose your artwork.

Other picture framing supplies that you will need include glazing.  Glazing is available in glass or acrylic.  Glass offers the greatest protection from scratches, but is quite heavy and may have a green tinge.  Acrylic is perfectly clear and lightweight, and may also be made of conservation quality materials so that the surface of the artwork is protected from harmful ultraviolet light and pollution damage.  

Mat and mount boards are other picture framing supplies used in conjunction with the picture frame and glazing.  Mat boards are art framing supplies that are used to provide another border to the artwork and to protect its surface.  Moisture is a prime culprit which, if it becomes trapped inside a framed picture, will wreak havoc on the artwork and damage the surface.  A bit of space and air circulation is provided by using a matboard inside the frame, and this helps to alleviate the problem.

Mount boards are framing and matting supplies that form the base upon which the artwork is placed.  Picture framing kits will often include mount board, but the framer will also want to have on hand some product to affix the artwork to the mountboard.  Picture corners or hinge tape are available in archival quality, and these framing and matting supplies work well for this purpose.  

Gallery owners will find picture framing kits and other art framing supplies readily available from fine art photography framing supplies dealers.
