San Clemente Art Supply & Framing

Happy Fall Everyone

Our construction is finished and we are moving into the new part of our building. Come and see our wonderful new Custom Frame Shop and the new things we have brought into the new space.

With the closing of the Frame House on Del Mar, Tom Elliott has joined Chris Verity and Jake Herdell to provide you with a top notch custom framing experience. We bring great prices and old world craftsmanship to life in our framing shop.

Our summer workshops were great fun. See photos below:

Our Commitment to the Environment

We are committed to become more environmentally friendly; our first step was to eliminate our printed newsletter by switching to email; our next step is to eliminate plastic bags. We plan to use our current stock and not re-order any more. The harm these bags do to the planet is astonishing and preventable. Please take a moment to view the following slide show by clicking on the link below. It will definitely make you aware of the scope of the problem.

As an alternative we will have our reusable bags in two sizes.

The large bags are free with a $75 purchase, or $2 each.

Messenger size bags, available Nov.2008, are free with a $50 purchase, or $1.75 each.

Each time you shop using any reusable bag, or don’t need a bag at all, we will enter your name in a monthly drawing for a $25 gift card to the store.

Thank you everyone, for your help in this effort.
