One of the things that makes Darkroomers unique is that we print our photos and submit them for critique and exhibition each month. Matting and mounting prints, especially if you plan to cut your mats, can be its own art form, and takes practice to master. To help members with this process, we hold an annual matting and mounting workshop where members can bring in their mat cutters and show some of the available tools. We’ll walk you through cutting a custom mat and how to mount your print using archival tools processes.
Bring:
- A mat cutter (if you have one) – if you don’t own one, you can see what other members are using and have a chance to try one before you invest in your own.
- Uncut mat board (16×24 recommended)
- A printed photograph
- Adhesives or other tools you use for matting and mounting
We ask that both new and longer-term members plan to attend. This is a great way for those who have been involved for a while to share their knowledge with our newer members.
NOTE: Weekend workshops are members’ only events. Not a member? Click here for more info and to join Darkroomers!
