Course programme

We will be learning how to cut and join frames. How to cut glass and mount-board, as well as different styles of mounting work in the frames.

Sessions are all studio based. Examples of the media will be shown and discussed. There will be practical demonstrations, followed by practical application supported by one-to-one guidance and written instructions. The course fee covers all basic materials that will be used, such as frame moulding, glass and mount-board. More specialist materials can be bought at cost in the class. It is a hands-on class so it would be good to bring an apron or clothes you don't mind getting dirty.
