Presenting & protecting your artwork with matting & framing

Presenting and protecting your artwork with matting and framing

^{Saturday May 11th}

11:00 – 4:00 p.m.

This is a workshop that mainly covers the basics of how to use a mat cutter, but also covers safe methods of mounting the art and things to consider when you choose a frame, plus how to properly fit your art into a frame.  

Students with mat cutters are encouraged to bring them for the best hands-on learning during the workshop.  We will provide materials for matting and mounting the sample artwork.  One mat cutter will be made available for students to try if they do not yet own one.
