I'm on the lookout for any suggestions or ideas anyone might be able to offer. I mentioned in the introduction thread that I manage a picture framing workshop which provides supported work placements to people with mental health and other issues looking to get (back) in to work.
I have a group who are here on a slightly different basis as there's no expectation that they will move on to work, the purpose of them being here is more of a supported activity than a work placement.
These guys enjoy framing, but lack the finesse and attention to detail to work on customer orders, so previously they've been working on ready made frames of which we now have a huge pile and can only sell for a few pounds each.
So, a few questions
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
if you make and sell RMF, do you find any style/size sells better than others?
does anyone have any ideas for framing related that we could do, preferably that would sell! for example, we've recently been working on insect houses based around a deep-rebate frame cut in to a house shape.
I've wondered about some kind of fairly simple way of hand finishing frames, are there any ways of doing it which look good and don't take too much skill?
Any ideas would be handy!
