What you'll learn in this craft class:

Learn how to protect your artwork, give your work a personal touch, and skip the charges of a commercial framer by doing it yourself!

Bring to class an artwork/photograph (no larger than 8" x 10"), a sharpened pencil, a metal straight edge (12 inches or longer), and an exacto knife with extra blades.

Note: This class also has a $20 materials fee that will be collected at the beginning of class
