MATTING & FRAMING TECHNIQUES
DR03
Ages 16 & up

Do you have a print that you want to frame? Do you love the look of professionally framed artwork, but hate the price? In this introductory workshop, students will learn the fundamentals of basic mat cutting and picture framing for home or professional presentation. You will receive a “hands on” education on how to properly cut mats, mount art and assemble a frame. Common questions about framing will be addressed such as framing standards, matting/framing design and selection, and conservation framing. You will learn a single mat, double mat, floating mat and a surprise contemporary alternative. By the end of class, students will learn how to get that professional look and pay half the price! Two professional mat cutting tools will be made available; however, students are encouraged to bring their own if available. A materials fee is included in the tuition and will cover basic white and black mat boards, mounting tapes and backing boards. Students should bring a pencil, yardstick, and an 8” x 10” - 11” x 14” piece of “art” (a replaceable image is advised for beginners) with them on the first day of class.
