Do you feel rushed or indecisive in the store when you are trying to coordinate your work with matboard or frame samples?
Would you like some ideas about choosing mat colors or frame styles to best showcase your art?
This class will offer a few guidelines in choosing mat colors and frame styles to enhance your art. There will be time to examine an assortment of colors and styles. Matboard specifiers show the wide array of colors available currently. Matboard corner samples will be on hand to demonstrate the effect of a variety of colors. Your art can be paired with frame chop samples to see what works for eye-catching results.
You’ll be able to take home some simple directions for future reference. Also, a list of shops will be shared where you can find supplies such as frames, matboard, glass and more. You’ll receive a Crescent specifier which is a pamphlet showing actual paper samples of matboard colors. Specifiers are no longer mailed on request, but Crescent has provided enough for each person in this workshop.
If you have a work of art that you’d like to match with matboard or frames, bring it along. This is a fun way to consider your preferences and bring out the best in your work.
There will be time for participants to ask general questions regarding framing choices, or techniques if you frame your own work.
Optional materials: One piece of artwork to try out mat colors and frame styles
