Framing Workshop
July 13, 1-5pm
Gallery Frames
311 3rd Ave S, Seattle, WA
Seattle Print Arts is thrilled to offer a free professional development workshop focused on framing works on paper. We’re proud to be partnering with Gallery Frames for this special event and grateful to use their professional frame shop located in Seattle’s historic Pioneer Square.
Join us on Sunday, July 13 from 1 to 5 PM for an engaging, hands-on session led by professional framer and artist Danielle Quenell. Danielle will guide participants through a range of essential framing topics, including various framing styles, archival and conservation materials, best practices for presentation and longevity, and tips for keeping framing affordable.
Please note that this is a learning-focused workshop—participants will not be framing their own artwork during the session. Instead, you’ll leave with the knowledge and confidence to approach framing projects more independently and effectively.
This intimate workshop is limited to 10 SPA members. If you're interested in attending, please complete the registration form. If there’s enough demand, we’ll look into offering a second session.
