Custom Framing-Pandemic Style

Reflecting on the past year, we find ourselves overwhelmed with gratitude.

Thank you, Red Wing Framing customers, for making us essential.

This past year, the word "essential" has taken on new meanings. It's become a label for nearly everything—essential workers, essential businesses, essential services, and even essential… custom framing?

Yes, indeed.

Dear customer and friend, by entrusting us with framing, preserving, restoring, and enhancing your cherished items, you have made us essential. We've seen a significant increase in family mementos, treasured photographs, personal crafts, stitchery and needle arts, children's art, sports memorabilia, spiritual art and icons, historical figures and items, political posters, and even "saved" thrift store artworks. Thank you. You are 100% essential to us. Our hearts are full, our shop is bustling, and we proudly continue as dedicated preservers of personal, collective, and public essentials. Make an appointment with us today to preserve and display your treasures.

A few favorites from our team:

Stitchery! Valerie shares, "Stitching is very comforting to me. It's one of my personal passions, and I was able to get some great stitching done this past year. Seeing how others have stitched through the COVID year has been a great joy. Our creative passions help slow down life's craziness and leave treasures for generations. Let's keep creating!"

Florals! Clare adds, "One of my favorite quotes is by Lady Bird Johnson: 'Where flowers bloom, so does hope.' This past year, hope has been in great need and short supply for many, so it makes sense that people want to be surrounded by the simple, timeless beauty of nature. Flowers don't care about pandemics or politics. They simply deliver elegance, grace, and steadfastness. Flowers bring hope of renewal and will always look great in a frame on the wall facing your Zoom webcam!"

Puzzles! John says, "Puzzles have boomed in the pandemic era, and we've had a lot of fun seeing what our customers have put together. Pandemic puzzles will represent various memories of these times. They bring a sense of comfort and maybe even exemplify a 'job well done' while waiting to go back to work. Or maybe a puzzle is just a puzzle!"

The 2019 Annual Red Wing Pottery Convention

Exciting News: Sponsoring the Red Wing Collectors Society Annual Convention!

We are thrilled to once again sponsor the Red Wing Collectors Society Annual Convention, taking place this July 11-13 in Red Wing, MN. Collectors from around the world gather in our charming river city to celebrate their shared passion for Red Wing Pottery. This three-day event features auctions, socials, sales, swaps, workshops, education, networking, and more.

Last year, Red Wing Framing & Fine Art Printing presented three framed prints by the beloved local artist Larry Veeder for the Collectors Society auction. Red Wing Framing Owner and MCPF Valerie Becker, along with Red Wing Collectors Society Executive Director Stacy Wegner worked together in preparation for this year’s convention.

This year, Stacy entrusted us with a box of Collectors Society miscellany and said, "Have fun!" And we certainly did! Check out our delightful shadowboxes, filled with an eclectic mix of Collectors Society swag. These charming pieces will be auctioned off to raise funds for the Society's important work in preserving the legacy of Red Wing Pottery.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Red Wing Collectors Society and Ms. Wegner for the opportunity to support this wonderful organization and showcase our community pride. Learn more about the Red Wing Collectors Society on their website, and follow the action on their very active Facebook page.
