You've been framed!

2 New workshops, come for one or two days, the workshop fit together or work separately.

Calling all artists.....................................Bring your photos, wedding photos, your fabulous art work & prints!
Learn how to choose from all the various ways of mounting your pictures/paintings then hands-on cutting mounts and decorating them.

Tutor: Faye Boon.
I found Faye amongst the antiques, retro stuff and painted delightful furniture finds at Alleyways Antique Centre, St Michael's Trading Estate. I bought a very large old photo frame and Fay did an excellent job of mounting three old maps of Malawi and a friend expertly designed in calligraphy 'Malawi -The warm heart of Africa'. It was a Christmas present for my daughter Lucy who lives in Malawi, she was delighted but unfortunately it was just too fragile to pack in her case, so I'm looking after the picture, looks stunning on my lounge wall!

Faye has moved to Bridport recently and in between running her new bespoke framing business is lovingly renovating an old house in Bridport. She also tutors at The West Dean College and with her 30 years of experience you'll be in very knowledgeable hands and I'm sure it will be a interesting and useful workshop.
