18/Jun/2008 to 19/Jun/2008 Custom Framing
This is a two day course aimed at those who want to attempt a bespoke framing project with the “safety net” of expert guidance. It is particularly suited to those about to embark on the more creative side of quality framing within their business: this will often be people who have attended a Business Development Week.
Day 1:
The day starts with an introduction about where and how good, creative design will add to the value of artwork.
We take you through a few more decorative skills, giving you a chance to try out:
-
Shadow and float mounts;
-
using a second layer frame for depth or visual impact
-
Adding a slip, fillet or spacer into the framed item;
These skills are then put into action as you complete two small (apprentice piece) praming projects through the day.
We remind you of decorative techniques you can use on bare wood mouldings and styles of mount and how they can be combined for a more dramatic or exciting look.
Over night you plan, in detail, a framing project for artwork provided by the trainer, taking account of a customer's preferences. This design brief will provide you with information to decide on the style you are going to adopt. You fill out an order for materials, working within a set budget, so that you can complete the project on the second day.
Day 2:
The day starts with a demonstration of colour lining and fills, exploring a range of resources available. Time is set aside for trying this for yourself before embarking on the completion of your bespoke framing project. Throughout this session you will be able to draw upon the advice of the trainer to complete your piece. The sessions will end with a brief discussion about how well you met the design brief.
