OUR STUDIO.BUILT AROUND ART.
Craft Giclée is a fine art reproduction studio in Scottsdale, Arizona. The studio grew from a background in printing, gallery work, and Image & Frame, our Scottsdale custom framing and art-services business.
The Background Came First.
Printing came first. Growing up around the business made materials, process, consistency, deadlines, and problem solving familiar long before Craft Giclée existed.
Studio 1818, a gallery in Denver, added the perspective of exhibiting and presenting artwork. Later, Image & Frame in Scottsdale brought printing, custom framing, presentation, and daily work with artists and creative professionals into the same business.
Fine art reproduction grew alongside the frame shop. In 2013, that work developed into the dedicated giclée operation that became Craft Giclée. Today, Craft Giclée remains an Image & Frame LLC company.
Printing was familiar territory from the start: materials, consistency, deadlines, and getting the finished piece right.
Studio 1818 added firsthand experience with exhibiting, presenting, and living with artwork.
Image & Frame brought printing and art together around original artwork, framing, presentation, preservation, and client work.
Fine art reproduction developed into a dedicated specialty with its own workflow and focus.
Craft Giclée now brings that background together for artists, photographers, galleries, designers, framers, and other creative professionals.
What We Bring To The Work.
Printing, gallery work, framing, and art services each taught us to pay attention to a different part of the finished piece.
Printing taught us to respect materials, repeatability, process, and the details that make production work.
Gallery work taught us that the reproduction still has to stand on its own as a finished piece.
Image & Frame brought scale, borders, materials, handling, and presentation into the same conversation as the print.
Craft Giclée focuses that background on artwork capture, archival printing, proofing, editions, and repeat production.
We Look At The Whole Piece.
We look at the connections between the original, the file, the material, the color, the size, the presentation, and what happens when another print is needed later.
The equipment matters, but it is not the point. The point is making a strong reproduction without losing sight of the artwork itself.
Production choices should serve the artwork, not force every job into the same formula.
Color, surface, scale, borders, handling, and presentation all affect the final result.
We would rather explain the choices clearly than bury a client in print terminology.
Consistency matters when the work becomes an edition or ongoing product.
Different Clients. The Same Standard.
We work with first-time reproduction projects as well as professionals managing editions, exhibitions, collections, and ongoing orders.
Original artwork capture, fine art printing, proofs, editions, and repeat production.
Color-managed photographic reproduction across matte, baryta, luster, glossy, metallic, and canvas surfaces.
Careful production for exhibitions, editions, replacement prints, and ongoing collections.
Custom-sized fine art production for interiors, installations, client projects, and repeat programs.
Production support from people who understand how the print will ultimately be handled and presented.
Repeatable print production, editions, white-label fulfillment, and direct-to-client shipping when needed.
Craft Giclée grew alongside Image & Frame. The frame shop keeps us close to original artwork, artists, designers, materials, presentation, and what happens to a print after it is made. Craft Giclée gives fine art reproduction its own dedicated workflow while keeping that broader perspective.
