Through a combination of clear explanations, demonstrations, and hands-on practice, you will gain training in the following areas:
This workshop is designed to cater to individuals who are brand new to framing, as well as those who may have dabbled in framing their work to some extent. While having prior experience with hand tools is not a requirement, if you do have such experience, it can certainly be helpful!
