Framing a canvas, by HRE on Jan 16, 2011 11:24:52 GMT 1, I have seen some examples of people framing there canvases behind glass. I was thinning of doing this to one of my pieces.
I have a few questions if anyone could help out.
How would the framer attach the canvas to the frame. Would you have to screw into the wooden part? Would this in turn in your opinion devalue the art work.

Still owe you an answer on the glass dome HRE, so I will try to answer both. I got the dome from a local antiques shop. Plenty on Ebay so I would try there.
Usually the framer will put two screws through the backing material into the wooden batons on the frame. This would in no way devalue the canvas. Most canvas frames have screw holes of various types from the works being hung using traditional methods. My PP was framed by John Jones using this very method.
The other method is for your framer to create a wooden frame to insert inside the back of your stretched canvas that is an interference fit. You can then screw into that frame.
I think the two screws method is better, more secure and has no effect whatsoever on the value of your artwork. IMO.

Framing a canvas, by HRE on Jan 16, 2011 13:35:31 GMT 1, Thanks Harveyn for that. I think ill go with the 2 screw method this is what my framer suggested, I just wanted to get other peoples opinions on here first before I went ahead.
Cheers for the dome info. I thought it might have been best to look in these places. Its the height which i need, and there does not seem to be many around at the mo. Ill keep looking.

Framing a canvas, by Deleted on Jan 16, 2011 17:56:21 GMT 1, I just wanted to say what Harveyn told you, that is the way it should happen. My Neate is framed the same way:
any excuse.
