Landing on Mother’s Day 2023, the journey of bringing a frame design from paper to a fully functioning frame was an amazing one, much like the weather that accompanied us that weekend.
On our first day, we would see first-hand how an eyeglass frame was made; this was both interesting and challenging at the same time. Starting off with the designs we were asked to think of, I brought elements that meant the most to me. From my favorite cars to ideas that were wild concepts, I landed on one funky style that played off one of my most telling features, my eyebrows a.k.a. my Caterpillars. I had made the shape to look like I was giving a raised eyebrow look, made famous by one Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. With my design set, we picked our coloured acetate slabs to which our rough designs were traced upon, and it was off to the races. Day two brought a new challenge some of us were reluctant about, filing and sanding. After hand sawing our frame fronts into shape and creating our very own and unique temples, we began the process of giving on tour and shape to our ideas. We used hand files, drill presses, sanding blocks and various degrees of sandpaper grits to achieve the texture we desired. Once confident in our semi final product we took our break before the final day. On the third and final day there was a sense of high anticipation of the final assembly of our designs. Many finishing touches were applied this day. From polishing to gradient applications to give the frames more pop, and ending with the heat sinking of the hinges that provided the mechanisms needed to allow the glasses to finally sit on our faces. Buffing, polishing, adjusting everything to make our blocks of plastic to finally fit like a glove. We placed plano (blank) lenses to give the frames a finalized feeling and then we were finished! The caterpillars came to life. Overall, we learned the many intricacies and the tricks on how to make a frame not only unique but fit perfectly on the face. Finding out how challenging the production process can be, brings perspective to handcrafted frames. It’s not a cookie-cutter job, the work is real, and I have only Dr. Kelly Enns and the talented staff behind Sarah at Mosh frame works to thank for that. An eye-opening experience for sure but one I would recommend to anyone with the passion for the industry and the love for all things creative.
Thank you, Kelly! 10/10 Would recommend!

“Both my husband and I had eye exams today with Dr. Enns. We were very impressed with the facility, equipment, and Dr. Enns. She is wonderful with her patients and explains everything. Would highly recommend her and Sage Creek Eye Centre for your next eye exam. My husband says it is the best eye exam he has ever had and he has had a few!”Martha V Google Review
“Highly recommended based on level of care, expertise and ability to meet my exact needs. At the start of the pandemic, remote work was hard on my eyes and they were great at accommodating my needs. I left understanding more about my own role in my eye care health and tooled with amazing glasses that keep my eyes in check!”Amy Nadeau Google Review
“I highly recommend! I recently moved to the area and required an adjustment to my glasses. I was greeted right away and out the door in minutes. No charge for repair. I will be going here for my future eyewear needs.”Craig Gillon Google Review
