Fine Art Workshop: Frame & Stretcher

22-1271

Workshop teaches students how to build canvas stretchers and picture frames using the equipment in the Art and Design Department's Wood Shop. Course goal is to enable students to become more self-sufficient in presenting their work (paintings, photographs, drawings, prints, etc.). Each student produces between five and ten museum-quality canvas stretchers and picture frames. The course also introduces students to archival matting and mounting techniques.

Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
