December's Featured Program

How to Cut a Mat for a Frame

Wednesday, December 4 @ 10:30 am | Delaware Maker Studio

Photos and artwork make great gifts -- even more so when they're already matted and framed! But while there are plenty of photo frames at local stores, not all of them have mats sized for your custom artwork. In this class, our Maker Studio experts will teach you how to size your artwork to a mat, and then how to cut it for a perfect fit for your frame. Maker Studio classes fill up quickly -- register now! Or click here to check out other upcoming Maker Studio tutorials.
