Conclusion

What You Will Learn?

  • In this class you will learn exactly how to use a mat cutter to cut your own window mats in order to better, more professionally, frame your artwork. In my first framing class (Framed and Finished) one of the options was to get a specialty cut mat in the event that the one in your store bought frame wasn’t the perfect fit and here you can learn how to do this on your own!.
  • If you plan to do a lot of matting or wish to offer your artwork in a mat, then tune in to this class. It is for anyone who wishes to learn the skill of using a mat cutter and who plans to cut mats in the future. It isn’t the most cost effective thing to take on if you only plan to use the mat cutter once or twice..
