Our Studio

The hands behind Found & Framed

A small studio in Portland, Oregon, devoted to giving flowers, moments, and little pieces of art a second, longer life.

Est. 2019, Portland

How We Started

From a kitchen table
to a full studio

Found & Framed began with one bridal bouquet a friend didn't want to see wilt away. A flower press, a borrowed frame, and an afternoon later, the idea stuck: flowers don't have to end when the vase water runs out.

What started as a hobby on a kitchen table grew into a full studio — first with a secondhand pottery wheel for hand-thrown vases, then a resin station for wedding keepsakes, and eventually a corner dedicated entirely to framing kids' artwork for proud parents around the city.

Every order is still opened, pressed, poured, or framed by hand, in small batches, the same way it started.

What Guides Us

Made slowly, on purpose

Made By Hand

No mass production, no shortcuts. Every arrangement, vase, and collage passes through one set of hands from start to finish.

Real, Living Flowers

We work only with real botanicals — often your own — pressed and preserved rather than replicated with silk or paper.

Built to Last

Archival glass, UV-stable resin, and acid-free mats mean your piece is meant to be handed down, not replaced.

Our Process

From bloom to keepsake

Every project — flowers, clay, or crayon drawings — follows roughly the same four steps.

Gather

We collect your flowers, photos, or artwork — freshly cut, freshly picked, or freshly finger-painted.

Press & Prepare

Botanicals are air-pressed for 2–4 weeks; clay is thrown and fired; artwork is cleaned and flattened.

Arrange

Each piece is laid out by hand, balancing color, shape, and negative space before anything is set.

Frame & Finish

Sealed under glass, cast in resin, or glazed and kiln-fired — then packed carefully for pickup or delivery.
