Topic for October 25: Creating professional mats
You asked for opportunities to grow as artists, and we listened!
Increase your profits when selling your artwork by cutting your own mats! Artists may balk at the cost of commercially produced mats, but may also be intimidated by cutting their own. In this FREE workshop, come find out what tools you need, and how to use them to create your own professional-looking mats! Please join Joyce Francis on Thursday, Oct 25 from 6-7:30 pm in our downstairs Art Studio. In addition to the basics, Joyce will share ideas for innovation beyond a simple mat. Artists who have artwork waiting to be framed are encouraged to attend; as time allows you will get to practice your mat-cutting skills.
Space is limited, interested artists must reserve their spot by Wednesday, October 24 by emailing heather@northfieldartsguild.org, or by calling (507) 645-8877.
