Fearless Framing with Opus Art Supplies
Fearless Framing with Opus Art Supplies
You're invited to a casual 15-minute drop-in event, “Fearless Framing with Opus Art Supplies,” designed to help you explore and resolve your framing questions!
Join us for an engaging session where you can receive expert guidance on framing a variety of unconventional items, including flowers, vintage finds, and unique treasures. We will also talk about essential financial considerations to help you decide between ready-made and custom framing options, making sure you find the best fit for your needs and budget.
Discover innovative techniques that go beyond traditional methods while learning how to make informed decisions about colour to enhance the presentation of the artwork. You’ll learn to experiment with colour and texture to create truly unique framed pieces that you will love displaying on your wall. We’ll emphasize the importance of both preservation and presentation to showcase the art effectively.
For framing questions that require more time than the 15-minute session, please call your local Opus Art Supplies to schedule a one-on-one framing consultation. The Opus Team is excited to help you unleash your creativity and elevate your framing skills!
