Have you ever gone into a frame shop and been totally overwhelmed?

This workshop will examine all aspects of the frame including moulding, glazing, matting, and mounting, learning your options in language you can understand.

Designed for the artist or collector on a budget, this workshop will also cover cutting mats and glazing by hand. Finally, we will discuss the relationship between the frame and the art, learning to match the frame to the message. read more »
