FAQ Category: 1. Visiting Eco Framing

Great Question! There are a number of reasons…

• We can offer you “wholesale to the public” pricing.
• Rent for our facility is a fraction of a retail location.
• We have room for our large range of inventory.
• We have the space for an array of equipment that would not be possible in high-end retail.
• All of this keeps our costs down which are then passed on to you.
• There are several artists in the area which attracted us, including:
  • International glass studio of John Lewis, on Pearmain St: https://johnlewisglass.com/
  • Glass-blowing artist and teacher, Elin Christopherson, on Pearmain St: http://www.elinchristopherson.com/

Once you arrive here you will be amazed by our wonderful space!

We have a spacious design room with skylights where we can spread out options for all your art pieces, even your oversized ones. This is often not possible in a retail shop.
