I booked this workshop for my husband and he said: "I loved this workshop! Mark was a great tutor who allowed us to work at their pace but intervened when necessary. He introduced us to the equipment and processes involved in the making of a complete frame from scratch. We got to cut mounts, cut moulds, cut glass and design the backing mounts. I can't believe I got to create something that I previously used to purchase from framing shops, all in one day! I highly recommend this class."
