Introduction to Custom Picture Framing

3119 East 26th Street,Minneapolis MN 55406

11 December, 2021

Description

Bring a photo or flat piece of art up to 6" x 8" and leave with a custom framed picture! In this class we will practice miter cuts and joinery(v-nails) of picture frame molding, single and double custom cut mats, glass cutting, general mounting information, final assembly, and hanging hardware. We will meet downstairs in the artifactory. This class is also offered Monday, Nov 22 at 6 pm. Half of the proceeds from these classes are to build up an inventory of framing materials and equipment for member use. This class will not cover anything related to producing custom frame molding (i.e. routing, sanding, staining, carving, etc) Please note: all supplies included are basic framing supplies - clear glass, standard mats, regular foamcore, dust cover, etc. If you prefer to use higher end supplies (acid free mats and/or non-glare glass), please email me for more information on where to purchase before class. We will use flexible framing points meaning you will be able to remove and replace the glass/matting/artwork after you get home. The pictures posted in this event are examples only and do not reflect frame molding or mat colors used in class- there will be a few options available. If time allows, we can review the cuts that were used in the first picture (black, cream, and red matting). We will be standing on tile or concrete floors. Please wear comfortable closed-toe shoes. The space is heated but can get drafty. There will be stairs to get down to the location of the class - please email me if special accommodations are needed. About the instructor - Emily has four years of custom framing experience and thinks she has framed almost everything (except a snake skin; her coworker took on that project). For any questions - please email me at [email protected] Refund policy: Full refund if requested via email by 6pm CST on Tuesday, December 7.
