here are a few of my tips about framing textile art.
Framing Textile Art (part 1) How and Why I Frame my Textile Artworks
Textile artworks are often presented unframed in gallery exhibitions. There is a wonderful tactility about a piece of textile art that isn't imprisoned behind glass, however in my experience framing can be a good way to present delicate textile work and remove possible buyer barriers. If done correctly, good quality framing gives an artwork a neat professional finish, protects and preserves the artwork and makes it easier to hang (and possibly sell).
