Do you have a special piece of art that needs a gorgeous, special frame? In this two part workshop, we’ll design our own picture frames, then build and paint them! No experience necessary and all materials provided.
Check out our instagram @francineschicago to see more details about our workshops, including examples of what you can create.
Tuesdays, June 23rd and 30th, 6-9 pm. At Francine’s, 1210 W Granville, Chicago
Week one: Bring your piece of art with! We’ll design our frames to fit our art pieces, assemble them out of cardboard, and then cover them with plaster gauze (similar to paper mache, but sturdier) to make them nice and strong. A couple notes: Plaster gauze is messy! We will provide gloves and KN95 masks for the dust. Please wear clothing you don’t mind getting dirty. You can bring any flat-ish art piece to frame (prints, drawings, photos, collage, paintings, etc!) Art pieces should be no larger than 24”x24”.
Week two: We’ll decorate our frames with acrylic paint and paint marker! You can take your piece home, or we can spray it with a durable sealant and you can pick it up during open hours.
Suggested donation $70-150. If you wish to donate more, you can send it to @francineschicago on venmo. If $80 is out of reach, either venmo us the amount you're comfortable with, or send us an email at francineschicago@gmail.com and we'll get you signed up for the workshop! :)
Return Policy: Returns are available up to 48 hours before the workshop.
Accessibility: Our studio is 2 steps down below ground level. Please let us know if you would like any assistance getting into the space! Unfortunately, our bathroom is not ADA accessible.
