On October 19, Frames by Edward Wright hosted a workshop on designing and hand crafting one-of-a-kind picture frames. Our goal was to explore the classic art of framemaking. Participants learned to water gild 12 karat gold leaf, gild aluminum leaf, and apply a one-of-a-kind finish of their own design. Each participant took home the result of their creative work: a finely crafted picture frame worth more than the cost of the workshop.
