Rent A Workshop


FramingWorkshops.jpg

For some time people have asked about (or suggested) the notion of using our training room to do their own framing.  Well we have listened and will be trialling our first session of workspace rental.  The system is simple.  You can hire a work space for an afternoon session (1.30 pm - 4.30 pm): as it is a "pilot run" we can offer it at the massively discounted price of just £10 (+ vat)!!.  This gives you access to hand-tools, consumables and hardware (as used in our Basics of Framing training).  You buy the products you need from the store (mountboard, backing board, glass, moulding etc) and then complete as many or few projects as you feel able to fit in.  A member of staff will be available to advise, find materials and maintain kit PLUS there will be access to our basic training manuals and Handy Hints sheets as reminders. The only limit is that you must have trained with us on our Basics of Framing course and be able to cut mounts, mouldings etc for yourself. MORE>>

MasterClasses (A Reminder)


DavidWilkie.jpg

Don't forget the Master Classes with David Wilkie (1st & 2nd Oct) with a special offer price if you book both days: a saving of £45.00.  If you want your picture framing to develop further it is vital to have that catalyst to give you a push in the right direction.  The Master Classes will definitely achieve that: you wil be taking on real professional development whilst investing in your future.

Mitre Trimmers Are In


MitreTrimmerBase.jpg
Mitre trimmers will be back in stock next week and are ready to order.  It's amazing how such a simple piece of kit can produce such an excellent finish to mitres.  It makes the difference between working as an amateur and creating a professional look: sharp corners no gaps.  If you have trained with us you will have seen just what they can do.  For those who are new to them, we have a Handy Hints sheet providing guidance on their use alongside mitre saws.  Worth an early Christmas treat?

Planning Sheet


PlanningSheet.jpg
We have been using a new version of our planning sheet during training sessions. It allows for planning the mount element in detail (also allows for double mounts) and provides space for planning and recording other aspects in a framing project. Whilst not the only way (or even the best) of recording what you do, people have found it useful ... and now you can download the PDF and see if it’s of any help to you. Planning Sheet
