In this episode of Platemark, Ann Shafer sits down with master framer Thoren Vadala of Make-A-Frame Atlantic to explore the meticulous, often overlooked world of picture framing. From the technical realities of custom woodworking versus manufactured MDF to conservation standards like cotton rag mats and UV-filtering glass, Thoren breaks down what it truly takes to protect and elevate a work of art on paper. Tune in for an engaging discussion on framing philosophy, avoiding the trap of standard black-and-white presentation, and why early collaboration between artists and framers makes all the difference.
