Mini Clinic
Thursday, August 8, 2024
Location: Williamson County Public Library,
1314 Columbia Ave. Franklin, TN 37064
Meeting room A
7:00 pm
Speaker: Bert Laws
Topic: Mounting, Matting, and Framing your Photography
Whether you are competing with your photos, selling prints, sharing them with friends or just hanging them in your house, how you choose to print, mount, mat and frame your prints is a critical element of your presentation. Further, in the modern digital world, you can print the same image a million times and it will always look exactly the same – unless you differentiate your artwork in your choice of display. In this mini-clinic, we will review how to dry mount your photographs on foam board or Gator Board and discuss other options for dry and wet mounting. In addition, we will demonstrate and discuss how you can further highlight your image by cutting your own mats for placing the image in a frame. At a minimum, you will learn how to better communicate with your framer to achieve a great result that displays your full creative vision for your photography!
