Ultimate Photography & Art Framing Package11/Oct/2008 to 13/Oct/2008

---

This course is made up from several individual days that you are able to pick from individually.

  • Basics of Framing
  • Mount Cutting & Decoration
  • Stretching And Framing Canvas Based Artwork

About the programme

This provides the opportunity to complete 3 major aspects of framing linked with art & photography, all in one long weekend.  It takes all of the elements of the Photography & Art Framing Special and adds on a day devoted to stretching and framing canvas based prints. We take you through the core skills involved in making a frame to suit a piece of work that you bring with you.  These specials are designed for the whole range of artists & photographers: keen amateurs through to professionals.  Originally designed to meet the needs of photographers, these specials were clearly very popular with all artists working in any 2D medium.  

This special weekend covers the same practical ground as our 2 entry level courses as well as ONE of our new specialist days:

  1. BASICS OF FRAMING (click for more information)
  2. MOUNT CUTTING and DECORATION (click for more information)
  3. STRETCHING & FRAMING CANVAS BASED ARTWORK (click for more information)

Where the core differs significantly is in the fact that the specialist information has been based around a series of queries often posed by photographers joining the site.  These concern:

  • how to prepare work for competition;
  • specialised materials available;
  • mounting work for direct sales;
  • tools needed for mount cutting
  • adding a bit of extra "drama" through framing to
  • make your work stand out from the rest.

However, these themes have been an added bonus for the many artists who have also been involved with these courses, finding the "extra" themes very useful and highly relevant to those working with pastels, watercolours,  ink and pencil.  So, even If you are not especially interested in framing photography, the three days will be an exciting way of developing skills in framing all sorts of artwork.
