Framing can be very expensive, and you may not wish to commit your work to this kind of treatment just yet. But that’s no excuse not to put something together for the exhibition!

Several simple mounting methods will be demonstrated, and advice given on framing using a standard pre-fab frame. Bring your finished (or close-to-finished) piece and a sheet or two of good paper (like Canson mi Teintes – which comes in a multitude of colors), a cutting mat, X-acto or similar knife, a metal ruler or triangle, pencil, eraser, and a sheet of light weight cardboard. Optional: a piece of mat board or a pre-cut mat, a bone folder or burnisher, a standard-sized frame. Some materials/tools will be available to share.

Pre-cut mats and standard sized frames are usually available at various art and craft shops.

If you would like to prepare something for our members exhibit, you’re welcome to come for some support/suggestions. There will still be plenty of time for participants who wish to work on their pieces in a relaxed situation with some individual guidance. This mini-workshop begins at 10am with a half hour around noon for lunch; class will end at 2:30, but the room will be open and you're welcome to stay and work until 5pm.
