Both the beginners and advanced picture framing classes are five intensive days from 9 am to 5 or 6 pm. Students have hands-on instruction, and create several framed pieces using many of the various techniques. Students also learn how to set up their business and picture framing shop for efficiency and top production. Emphasis is on craftsmanship, design, and professionalism.
