Through the Professional Picture Framer's Association's (PPFA) CERTIFIED PICTURE FRAMER® (CPF®) Program, a framer's knowledge is tested in such areas as mounting, glazing, frame cutting, preservation methods and the proper materials to be used in framing projects.  A framer that passes the extensive exam earns the framer's mark of excellence, the CPF® designation. Fewer than 4,000 individuals worldwide have achieved CPF® status since the program's inception in 1986. 

Here at Framed In Tatnuck we are the only frame shop with a PPFA Master Certified Picture Framer®!  Cliff Wilson, MCPF® is on staff for design, framing and consultation.  Years of study and experience enable us to provide you with expert advice and assistance.  Come in and say hello and ask about proper preservation framing techniques and materials.

Framed In Tatnuck is the ONLY frame shop in central Massachusetts with a Master Certified Picture Framer on staff!  Yes, Cliff Wilson, MCPF® is one of 60 Master Certified Picture Framers in the World!  The CPF® is acquired through an extensive written exam.  The MCPF® is a further practical evaluation where 5 framing projects are disassembled and evaluated against proper and exacting standards!  Few attempt this level of certification and fewer achieve it.

Cliff is the President of the New England chapter of the Professional Picture Framer's Association.  He is also serving an elected term as a Director on the International Board of the Professional Picture Framer's Association.  Cliff has been an instructor at the national convention and is available for talks on framing and/or preservation framing techniques.

When you visit Framed In Tatnuck, take a look at our New England Professional Picture Framer's Association framing competition award winning designs!

We recently took the third place Ribbon at the annual New England PPFA framing competition!

The NEPPFA holds a Print Competition, where all framers must use the same print, and an Open Competition, where the framer chooses what they want to frame.

We have won ribbons five out of the last six years!

Come into the shop and see them!  We have them on display with the ribbons.  Did I mention that we won FOUR ribbons in 2007 and First Place in 2008!!!
