Certified Picture Framer (CPF)
A
Certified Picture Framer (CPF) is a designation
administerd by the Professional Picture Framing
Association (PPFA). The PPFA adminsters the five hour
CPF exam twice a year and tests in the areas of: (1)
art and framing preservation, (2) framing knowledge,
(3) the mechanics of framing, (4) the mathematics of
framing and (5) art and image mounting.
To insure that any framer who has a CPF stays current
in the professional framing field, a CPF must retake
the exam and re-certifiy as a CPF every five years.
This is a very arduous and rigorous process, which is
why very few framers bother becoming CPF's. Red Wing
Framing Gallery is one of only five CPF's actively
working in Minnesota.
We are very proud of the professionalism in which we
address our business and we take our industry very
seriously.
This should be important to any client if their art
is important to them.
