This is like the Fine Art Trade Guild  in the UK, - with respect
I know more Americans who use the Guild's qualification, GCF
than European CPF's- but my point was that we are often called
upon to re-frame works of a possibly high value. I work in an
affluent neighbourhood and frame work of value. Does the CPF
offer an indemnity insurance programme for framers?
