This half-day workshop is for those who want to learn how to make frames for their artworks on canvas, or 3D/textured pieces. A floating frame (or shadow box) protects and supports the artwork without putting anything over the delicate face.

This course is designed specifically for beginners, with no previous experience with tools or in workshops. It is a confidence building introduction to simple carpentry skills that is focussed on getting artists skilled up to make their own floating frames at home.

It covers the fundamentals of tool use and workshop techniques, including:

Confidence in your ability to use the following tools correctly and safely – hand and power saws, drill drivers, staple guns and measuring equipment.
Learning to measure and cut accurately
Practice simple joinery using glue, V nails and clamps
Familiarise yourself with the workshop environment, practices and health and safety

This course is about applied learning: bring a small artwork (maximum size 40cm x 40cm) to the course and we’ll take you through making a frame for it.

What you bring: Yourself and a small artwork. All tools and materials are included in the registration.

What to wear: suitable clothing for the workshop, and sturdy closed shoes. We provide safety glasses and ear protection.

Cost - $190 (incl GST)
