A Socio-Anthropological History of Frames and Framing
In the 27,000 known years of creating artworks, man has only been concertedly framing for about the last 600. Baer Charlton, BA, CPF, MPF examines the social and political pressures that influenced and inspired the creation and changes in picture framing. From the icon inception, through the “periods” and “schools”, and up to modern times, Baer examines the most pronounced forms of European and American framing that still influence what we sell today in our frame shops. Understanding where today’s designs and frames come from, aid in the matching and selling of frame jobs for today and tomorrow.
Sunday August 6th 10:00 AM
Fabric Wrapping 101™ Class
One of the most powerful enhancements you can make to the framing you offer your customers and your bottom line, is hand wrapped fabric mats and liners.
This hands-on class will train you to wrap single and multiple mats, seamless and mitered liners. Each student will complete or participate in completing, an 11x14 deep-bevel single mat, an embossed mat, and an upholstered mitered corner liner leg.
Baer Charlton will cover preservation considerations, testing for acid, archival techniques and most importantly when and how to sell fabric. He will cover the fundamental dynamics of retail pricing to sell, sourcing materials and increasing your profits.
His DVD as well as very special pricing on starter kits will be available for purchase.
Class sponsored by Frank’s Fabric for Framers.
After class there will be a BB-Q and for those interested we will be going to the Saratoga Racecourse for the races.
