Anyone want to be framed???
Kia ora tatou:
An unashamed plug for a workshop..
MY friend Mark Racle sent me this email, advertising a framing workshop in Rangiora, New Zealand. I have included the guff he sent me and suggest if you are interested, you contact him.

Hope all is well with you
I wonder if you know any that would be interested in the following
Date 20 - 21st September
Where - Rangiora High School
Tutor - Lance Trolle
This is a great opportunity to frame up as much as you like/can at very cost effective rates.
The weekend costs $65, plus materials used.
I have been on three previous workshops with Lance, two here and one in Hokitika.
Lance brings all the gear - and it’s good - he even brings his ‘two person to carry’ guillotine which ensures those perfect mitres, all the gear and materials for framing, matting, backing and hanging. (Of course if you want to guarantee sufficient moulding of a particular type… you can bring your own). Lance is a most helpful and enthusiastic tutor.
Expect to be able to frame at least 10, maybe up to 15, works if you’re inclined to, of any size up to about A1.
I have previously come home after two days with 12 or so framed pieces, of varying sizes from A4 through to A1, which for a weekends (easy) labour, and about $300 in materials (plus the course fee) - averages about $30 a piece. (The A1 alone would probably have cost me the weekend’s expense for a framing shop to do).
If any would like to see examples of the output there are several available at our place, as are the booking forms.
Book early - the school doesn’t do much advertising and the last workshop was cancelled due to low numbers.
Cheers
Mark
