Tue 18th February A Talk on Picture Framing by Andy Harris @ the Courthouse

Closeups of Framed Prints by Photo4Me

7.30pm to 8.30 pm Andy from Hilltop Framing will offer tips and hints on mounts and frames.

A keen photographer Andy started with an A3 printer and needed to get his printed photos framed. This led to a framing course and his hobby becoming a business.

The starter kit received a full upgrade.  Since then he has framed all manner of photography, oil paintings, watercolours, canvas, needlework, medals, clothing

He enjoys working with people to turn their handiwork, treasures and triumphs into a work of art.  He loves breathing new life into older works.  I enjoy the challenge of each new piece.
