(3/3) After the joined Hicks frame has dried, the first step in the finishing process is to gesso the frame. Here, gilder Mary Helen O'Brien heats the gesso so it can be sprayed evenly on each side of the frame where gilding will occur. In this case, only the face of the frame will be gilded so the sides have been taped off. #gilding #craftsmanship #BarkFrameworks #woodshop #sprayroom #finishing #customframes #gesso #goldleaf #frameprep #nycframers #nycmakers #artistsframes #musuemframes #artcollectors #collectorframes #artgalleries (at Bark Frameworks) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGDhO6MlR8U/?igshid=v2cy30it579g

Our artisans are meticulous about finishes. Here, Chuck Ramdin applies paint to a frame in the spray room of our #LIC shop -- the color is @benjaminmoore Ruby Red, a client request. The rabbet of the frame is covered during the spray treatment so that the artwork will never come into contact with remnants of the finishing process, thus keeping the art area archival. #sprayfinish #framefinishing #sprayroom #woodshop #rubyred #barkframeworks benjaminmoore #rabbet #spraypainy #paint #archivalframing #preservationframing (at Bark Frameworks)
