Framing Mastery: Crafting Your Own Picture Frames
Join us for an immersive woodworking class where you’ll learn the art of frame making from start to finish! In this hands-on workshop, students will be given choice of wood species, frame size, and side profile. You’ll explore design principles, select the perfect materials, and master essential woodworking techniques. From sketching your unique design to cutting, assembling, and setting the glass, you’ll create a beautiful, personalized frame for your favorite artwork or photos. Whether you’re a beginner or have some woodworking experience, this class will equip you with the skills to create stunning frames that showcase your creativity. Bring your vision to life and take home a custom frame you’ll be proud to display!
What To Expect:
Session One: In the first session of this class, students will make design selections, measure and cut their pieces, and assemble and glue their frame.
Session Two: In the second session, students will finish their frame by sanding and applying finish.
Session Three: In the third session, students will be guided through the process of preparing the frame backing, setting the glass, framing their selected piece, and closing the frame.

Teacher: Rod Wilson
About Rod: Rod Wilson was educated at the University at Albany in art and anthropology, and began a woodworking apprenticeship soon after graduation. He has had his own woodworking business for nearly 40 years and has worked with wood in many forms and applications. Rod's building experience spans furniture, cabinets and kitchens, to architectural builds, barn restoration, and house carpentry. His particular interests are in sculptural and studio furniture, often with live edge pieces and including other materials. Since childhood he has had a fascination for wood in all of its stages and forms, from seed or nut to mature tree (even rotten and decomposing!), to sawyering and milled planks, to creating a new life for wood and self. At its finest, Rod believes that working with wood is a spiritual practice. Rod is a Saratoga Joinery Safety Coordinator and you can find him in our shop every Thursday from 1pm-5pm.
