Course Description

A frame is as integral to displaying a work of art as the piece itself -- and a good frame can make it even more amazing -- but getting that "wow" factor without spending a fortune can be tricky. In this course, Geoff Gaunt, owner of Providence Picture Frame and Dryden Gallery, expertly guides students by breaking down the framing process with both an instructional approach and some basic hands-on demonstrations. The learning begins with an assessment of the artwork to be framed and a determination of how its archival needs guide the framing strategy. Then the fun begins, with mounting, matting, glazing and framing options, as students learn practical skills employed by professional shops, as well as DIY options they can use to save money. Finally, hanging standards and options are discussed, so you can create your own gallery in your home, office or studio. Note: Students should bring in one unframed piece of artwork to explore framing options. Class takes place at an off-campus location; directions are sent to registered students.
