Artists, as painters, often the necessary evil is framing. But framing is not only an important part of presentation, it’s a functional part of protecting and hanging your artwork and unfortunately many artists do it incorrectly.  In this workshop artists will learn the simple tools and proper do-it-yourself techniques and materials of framing. Learn not only what hardware to use, but the proper placement of it.  Learn the best hanging wire and the proper framing knot to use and why.  These techniques will put you on the good side of gallery and art show managers and insure safety when installing your art in a collector’s home.
