October 17, 2010

About the workshop: The last step in picture preparation is notoriously troublesome. Those who remain uninformed or choose to skimp on framing often end up hurting themselves by preventing beautiful presentation of their work. However, beautiful frames are undeniably expensive. This one-day workshop will present useful strategies for nurturing a relationship with your framer and attractive alternatives to paying top dollar for good frames. In addition we go over popular moldings, where one can order stock for Do-It-Yourself framing, and required tools. Each student will learn how to prepare his or her own frame with a professional finish using gold and metal leaf.

Materials: $50 will include a frame and all materials.
