MAT CUTTING BASICS

This class focuses on the fundamentals of mat cutting and framing, with an emphasis on measuring, cropping, and thoughtful color selection. You’ll learn how to plan your layout, choose proportions that complement your artwork, and understand how mat color can enhance or compete with a piece.

Rather than completing a finished project, this session is designed to give you the knowledge and confidence to make better framing decisions on your own. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of how to approach your artwork, avoid common mistakes, and create clean, balanced presentations when you’re ready to frame at home.
