Basic Framing on a Budget

Want to feel confident framing your photographs without spending a fortune? This workshop walks you step-by-step through a simple, practical framing process using affordable materials you likely already have—or can easily find at a craft store. You’re welcome to frame your own print during the workshop, or simply watch the demo. If you participate, you can leave with a finished framed image ready to hang or display.

What to Bring (Required — if you want to frame a print)

• Your photo print (or any piece of paper if you don’t have a print handy)
• A frame (preferably wood with a glass front)
• A mat that fits your frame + an opening that fits your image
• A clean rag and a bath towel
• Cotton gloves (if you have a pair)

Optional (Nice to Have)

• Paper & pencil for notes
• An open and inquisitive mind

Please Note This workshop is not a professional framing class. We’ll be demonstrating the budget-friendly method Mary Mehl and Potter use to frame images at home with simple, accessible supplies.
