Presenting textiles, fabric art pieces and items of clothing is a specialty of ours. Each project is unique and requires thoughtful decisions about how to best attach the fabric item to a backing (usually a mat board or fabric-covered panel). Sports jerseys might be folded to best display the logos and numbers while minimizing overall size. Heavy items such as woven rugs and heavy embroideries may be sewn or pinned for extra support. Our framers have years of experience in selecting the appropriate method for your piece, and will share details with you during the design session.

Once the textile is attached, it can be presented in a frame with our without glass. Often glass is recommended because dust and light can damage fabrics over time. Signed jerseys are particularly vulnerable to light damage. If the piece is large, UV Plexiglas is a great choice to reduce weight and provide protection. Custom plexi boxes with clear sides are another option for special pieces where a frame is not desired, or the item can’t fit into a frame.
