Specialties
With more than 25 years of experience, first in Switzerland and since 2001 here in the US, and with an ongoing interaction with the dynamic creativity of Easthampton’s art community, I feel confident that I have the knowledge, skills and artistic understanding necessary to be your trusted framer.
But art is not the only thing we frame: from fortune cookie to full size violin, from Red Sox memorabilia to counted cross stitch or diplomas, the variety of things framable is endless.
We love this variety as it keeps us interested and excited about each new order.
History
Established in 2001.
Owner Jean-Pierre Pasche opened his first business «Cadre & Livre» in his hometown of Montreux, Switzerland in 1987. He moved to the USA in 1999 and started The Eastmont Frame Station in a former gas station on Union Street in Easthampton. The business moved to its present location in 2007 when the City of Easthampton decided to rededicate the Old Town Hall as an art and cultural center. Another significant change happened in 2014 when Eastmont was renamed Big Red Frame, reflecting Pasche’s commitment to the local creative economy and his involvement with the Biennial Sculpture Exhibit Art in the Orchard, home of the Biggest Red Frame ever.

Business Owner
Bonjour! I am Jean-Pierre Pasche, owner and CFO (Chief of Framing Operations…) of Big Red Frame. I discovered custom framing when I bought a bookbinding /picture framing shop in 1987 in my hometown of Montreux, Switzerland. Although a certified bookbinder, I soon realized that my interests and skills were better suited for custom framing. Since then I have learned and mastered the techniques and secrets of the trade frame after frame, challenge after challenge.
With more than 25 years of experience, in Switzerland and since 2001 here in the US, and with an ongoing interaction with the dynamic creativity of Easthampton’s art community, I feel confident that I have the knowledge, skills and artistic understanding necessary to be your trusted framer.
