Welcome . The Start-Up Tutorial Programme will set you on the path to becoming an expert home-based framer. Every stage of framing is explained through demonstration - and it can ALL be achieved at home or in a studio - all you need is a 3ft x 4ft worktop.
And it is important to know that all you'll learn is set within the quality standards established by the Fine Art Trade Guild. You learn to a professional standard about what to think about, how to plan, what tools to work with, what materials to use and how to use them to achieve excellent frames.
3.5 hours of Tutorials are broken down into Sections of short modules that can be paused, returned to as often as you like and taken at your own pace. The price of the Tutorial Programme is £290.00.
A complete package of equipment and materials can also be purchased at a special Start-Up discounted price. The package is sourced from Lion Picture Framing, the UK's leading framing supplier. Everything is geared to the home framer - both for price and practicality (see 'Equipment Package - how does it work' below).
