Picture Framing Courses – Part Time/Full Time + Evening Classes
Roundstone Framing in Trowbridge are pleased to offer part time, full time and evening courses in picture framing. You will have fun and enjoy learning how to frame your art, photography, needlework etc to a professional standard under the guidance and supervision of our Guild Commended Framer
The courses are aimed at complete beginners or those who may have a little bit of experience. Picture Framing courses can be booked on a daily basis as we have the ability to make all our courses flexible to fit in with your requirements. However many students found it more of an advantage to book 2 days or more on a course as it gave them much more time to practice the newly acquired skills at their own pace, whilst giving them the opprotunity to ask more questions and gain even more hands on experience.
The beginners Picture Framing courses are structured to furnish the student with more than just the basic knowledge required to become a competent framer. Our small class sizes (2 max) enable our courses to cover topics in the beginners curriculum that would probably not be covered in any other training facility on the same level.
Upon completion of the beginners picture framing classes, you will leave with the knowledge and skills required to produce work of the highest quality. Your course will give you the ground foundations on which to grow and develop your skills and confidence. You can be assured that we will go out of our way to ensure that your time spent with Roundstone Framing will be an enjoyable and educational experience.
