Recycled Timber Picture Framing
(+1 more date)(Private Dates Available)
Description
This course is for people with no experience in framing pictures and is designed to teach you the skills and confidence to create a variety of different frame styles using simple tools and second-hand timber. Discover the joy of creating original frames and mat board combinations to suit your art and photo collection.
During the class you will be able to custom your frames with mat board to accommodate an A5 print (210mm x 150mm).
Once completed, you will have the skills and know-how to complete your own frame projects at home.
This workshop is aimed at people with no experience with woodwork. It is open to anyone 13 years and over. Students between the ages of 13 and 15 require a guardian to attend with them (see Below)
The course is run using entirely hand tools so you need to be aware that there is an element of physicality involved.

Among the Trees is an ethical and sustainability based start-up for reclaimed timber located in Marrickville. Saving timber from demolitions or other discarded uses and making it available to the public through a retail timber shop and woodworking classes. Accessibility to wood doesn't just mean being wheelchair friendly (which we are), it also means helping customers understand how to use and source reclaimed timber. Our aim is to help empower individuals to have the confidence to undertake projects of their own by offering woodworking and craft beginners classes that are taught with simple and accessible tools and techniques.
Timberyards and wood workshops can be intimidating sometimes and ATT prides itself on creating an inclusive and accessible space where anyone from architects and carpenters to people with no woodworking experience are able to come and access reclaimed timber and learn new skills.
Our workshop at Among The Trees is set up to be the perfect space to learn about hand tools, reclaimed timber, woodworking and crafts. We’ve been hard at work collecting, restoring and tuning all the tools required to learn woodworking, and a few extra ones as well.
All-in-all, everyone that is interested in reclaimed timber and making is welcome!
