February 2021 club meeting

18 February 2021

On the agenda…

Clive Taylor

Clive Taylor is retired now, but ran a hgh-profile picture framing business for 40 years and remains a wealth of knowledge on the subject. He talked about the three elements of framing; mounting, glass and moulding.

Clive discussed the different type of matt boards available and the importance of layering and colour selection, and also showed examples of these (and the bevel-edging options available). He also discussed the different glass options on the market, and passed around some example frames using Art glass and GroGlass (70% and 99% UV protection respectively). The group was blown away by the clarity of the gladd, particularly the 99% protection version!

He wrapped up with a discussion on bonding the images, and the varieties of mounding available and the effect they can have on your images.
