Wooden Tray Frame Sessions
Discover how to finish your artwork with a simple wooden tray frame, handcrafted by you.
While I’m not a professional framer, this is a method I’ve developed and refined through my own practice to present my paintings in the studio. These sessions are designed for artists who would like to learn this approach, giving you the confidence and practical skills to create a clean, contemporary frame that complements your work.
Working in a small group, I’ll guide you step by step through the process—from preparing and assembling the timber, through to sanding, painting and fitting your artwork—resulting in a beautifully finished piece ready to take home.
All materials are provided, and sessions are kept small (maximum of three participants) to allow for plenty of individual guidance throughout.

Booking Information
Group sessions run by appointment and require a minimum of two participants (maximum of three), creating a relaxed and supportive learning environment.
Private sessions offer a one-to-one experience with tailored guidance and the opportunity to work at your own pace.
These sessions are particularly suited to artists who have attended my workshops and would like to frame their finished pieces.
