Three Reasons to Mount Your Memories on Plywerk

There are some moments in the life of a family that are meant to be preserved – Sally’s high school graduation, Grandpa’s 90th, baby’s first multi-tiered snot bubble. You pick the best of the best to receive the permanent treatment, and Plywerk’s bamboo art panels are the perfect home for your best photos. Pass a Plywerk around to your friends and family to hear, “Ooh, ahh!” The super-smooth sanded finish is quality you can touch, and the eco-conscious materials make for a designer home decor product you can feel great about!

The Perfect Frame Alternative

In the same way that your great-aunt Gertrude’s from-scratch noodles are better than store-bought, your handmade in Portland, Oregon Plywerk is the perfect alternative to a store-bought frame. By employing edge-to-edge photo mounting, we ensure your photo looks good anywhere in your home or office. Is your style sleek and modern? Classic and timeless? Bizarre and unpalatable? No problem! Photos mounted on Plywerk look sexy in any habitat. With a wide range of sizes and your choice of bamboo or maple, there are dozens of unique Plywerk products available to you. Finally, the perfect way to fill that 5×15, ¾ inch deep space between the macaroni painting and the wedding portraits.

Plywerk is Perfect For Art

At Plywerk, we know you consider your memories to be works of art, and that’s how we treat them. Plywerk is even a great fit for your actual works of art! With no glass to glint and glare, there’s nothing standing between your inkwash illustrations or digital paintings and the eye of the beholder.

Plywerk is Convenient

Time is a limited resource, and yet picture frames can’t seem to grasp this concept. Getting photos printed, traveling to the store, finding the right fit, and putting it all together make framing cumbersome. The keyholed, easy-to-hang panels are a great option for gallery spaces of all shapes and sizes, professional or converted spare room or otherwise. Check out our art hub to see the work of artists who agree that art mounted on bamboo is a match made in heaven!

After working as an actor and director for nearly 30 years, Patricia’s long sabbatical morphed into semi, and eventually permanent, retirement where photography became her creative outlet. Patricia’s striking nature photography is mounted on 3/4” bamboo Plywerk and will be on display throughout the Art & the Art of Healing exhibition.

Tom Denning @ Dulwich Festival

Tom-Denning-Plywerk-NL (1)

Tom Denning will be showcasing his beautiful urban and natural landscape photography at the South London Artists’ Open House. The Open House is part of Dulwich Festival that runs the weekend of May 11-12th and May 18-19th. Dulwich and its surrounding areas come alive during the festival, and this year there are over 200 artists throwing open their doors during the two weekends of Open House. Tom’s photography for Open House is lovingly mounted on our 3/4” bamboo Plywerk panels and looks simply splendid. Sorry to toss ‘simply splendid’ at you, I just got caught up with thoughts of London and British English bubbled out.

Plywerk as Signs, Awards and Plaques

Plywerk is fantastic for showing off photographs and artwork, but did you know that our eco-conscious panels are awesome for awards, plaques and signs? Plywerk are perfect for saying ‘thank you’, recognizing a donor, or even guiding people to the water fountain.

Our maple and bamboo art panels both look great as awards or plaques, and our c-type lustre paper is durable and won’t show fingerprints! If you are looking for something a bit different, we can chat about laser, print direct or screen printing options.

Check out some examples that we’ve done:

Salvation Army Sponser Plaques – http://www.salvationarmy.org/

Nike Wellness Center Guidelines Sign – www.nike.com

 

Dougy Center Donation Wall – http://www.dougy.org/

As we enter graduation season, remember to keep Plywerk in mind as an eco-conscious way to say “Congratulations!”.
