Framing Books

[Randy Parrish CPF]

Does anyone have a list of the books used for the CPF or MCPF tests, or recommended reading for framing newbs?

 

[Wally Fay CPF]

Randy, I have the set of recommended books that was last issued by PPFA. If I can lay my hands on them I'll forward you the list.

I just wanted a list to recommend to someone who is interested in learning framing but they live in a remote area.

Doesn't the PPFA CPF study guide have that list? I should have a copy of that.

We have no PPFA website currently.

Email Ellen. She has the list.

Here's what I got from PPFA when I asked for the current CPF study material in April of last year: It was fulfilled by Nick Shaver, so I have no idea if it is correct or complete.

The Mounting and Laminating Handbook Third Edition by Chris Paschke
PPFA Guidelines: Textiles and Needlework
PPFA Glossary of Standard Terms
The Complete Guide to Shadowboxes and Framing Objects by James Miller
PPFA Guidelines: Framing Paintings on Canvas
PPFA Guidelines: Framing Works of Art on Paper

Randy - I have the latest update on the Study Guide which has the list on page 10. I will send you a link to the file in Dropbox to your regular email. Not sure how to do that on here ...

Bumping this because if I got the list, I can't find it, my bad, if someone can send it that would be great. Also an idea maybe create a tab for it on the menu above.

Anyone interested can email me (howardsart@aol.com) or mrobertson@hobbypub.com to get the 2015 Study Guide.
