ACADEMY AT CUSTOM FRAMES
Within the three modules you should be able to frame nearly any item
We are delighted to be able to launch our own picture framing training courses. Our 3 tailored made one-day courses will cover a wide variety of skills and knowledge which we have accumulated over 25 years in the business working for a vast range of clients, both locally and internationally.
If taken, all three courses will provide the specialist skills to enable you to frame virtually anything.
The contents of these three modules will equip you with the know how to frame almost any item, from simple photographs to 3D items, all to a professional standard. If however, you’d just like a great day out learning a new skill, the Introduction to Picture Framing course is for you. Each of our courses takes place in our own 4000 square ft commercial workshop where you’ll learn and see first hand how things are done from start to finish.
