PPFA Australia - Framing Workshop Program 2016
PPFA Australia in conjunction with Megawood Larson-Juhl, are planning a series of hands on training workshops for 2016, designed to help framers gain the knowledge and understand of fundamental framing methods and techniques.

CPF® Certification
These workshops will cover key areas of practice & understanding which are relevant to the knowledge required for passing the PPFA Certified Picture Framer CPF® Exam.

Due to the scope of knowledge required – we are planning to split this training up into two separate workshop events. The first of which to be held in March 2016.

Workshop 1 - Framing Fundamentals
The first part of the 2016 PPFA training program will be a 3-day intensive workshop which will cover an overview of fundament framing topics including:
· Frame design
· Conservation framing materials
· Hinging works of art on paper
· Methods for framing canvas
· Methods for framing textiles
· Methods for framing objects
· Framing photographs
· Machinery & equipment use and tips
· Decorative mat design – fillets, wash & ink lines, v-grooves
These workshops are planned to be interactive & hands-on, where ALL participants are encouraged to demonstrate and share their knowledge with each other.

When? Thursday, March 10[SUP]th[/SUP] to Saturday, March 12[SUP]th[/SUP] 2016 (3 days)

Where? Megawood Larson-Juhl, Brisbane QLD.
Megawood Larson-Juhl are able to provide us with full use of their facilities in Brisbane, which offers conference facilities & relevant equipment and materials.

Cost?

· $330 for PPFA members

Workshop 2 – Advanced Framing Techniques
A second follow-up workshop is planned to be held around August-September 2016. This will cover more advanced areas of framing knowledge, and we also plan to offer an opportunity for those who wish to sit the PPFA CPF® exam after this event as well.
Dates and program outline will be confirmed after the first workshop.

Depending on attendance and interest, we may need to limit numbers, but we will work on a "first-in, first-served basis - with placement priority given to PPFA members, if required.
