Master Classes - Be Inspired

Each year we have helped hundreds of people to make a start with framing their own work. We show you the basic skills involved in good quality picture framing. However, having the skills is one thing, but knowing the full range of what you can do with them is another.  What makes a massive difference is seeing somebody in action; someone who thrives on creating imaginative designs as part of their everyday gallery work. David Wilkie GCF has run Master Classes for us in the past and is returning to lead another session in 2011. This year David is the WINNER of the Fine Art Trade GUILD FRAMING CHALLENGE award (photo is detail from his winning entry): that’s 7 FATG awards in total!  Don’t be put off by the Master Class title: find out how far you can extend your framing. Book both days and save £45.00.  Read the full article.
