Stafford Framing Company

handcrafted picture frames from my home studio in tucson. i’m dedicated to using traditional woodworking techniques to make frames from scratch with the beauty and authenticity of solid hardwood and with designs inspired by tucson’s unique history and culture. after 22 years in the framing industry in new york city, i returned to my hometown of tucson to care for my elderly parents and to start my own framing company in 2019. tucson was where i’d first learned framing, and over the years i found myself missing tucson more and more now that i was back, i thought i could give tucsonans an alternative to conventional frame shops by offering frames that are custom made by hand from scratch in my home workshop. i approach every new project with the underlying belief that to properly frame a picture the frame itself must be well made. this is why i make my frames from beautiful solid hardwood using traditional joinery. in addition, i work with a curated selection of frame makers around
