Frame it Yourself! Works on Paper with William Demaria - on Wednesdays - 4 Classes

Wednesdays August 6 to 27 4:00-6:00 PM

Budget frames cost $200-$300 and high-quality frames cost $400-$800. For any artist framing is always a pervasive problem and sometimes a crippling cost. Fortunately with a little bit of knowledge and the right tools and materials it doesn’t have to be you can build the highest possible quality frame for approximately $80. This class will cover everything from basic woodworking with hand tools to cutting glass to archival matting for artwork. By the end of this class you will have a complete frame and all of the knowledge you need to make your own frames going forward.

Please note: Students will be expected to bring their own artwork to frame. Artwork must be under 20” x 26”. The price of the class reflects the cost of artwork framed with UV protective glass. The maximum dimension frame that glass is practical is 24” x 30”.

If any artist is interested in larger the price of class will be adjusted to reflect the cost of UV Plexi.
