Synopsis

Designed for readers new to the craft, this visually led book introduces straightforward techniques for making picture frames using a small selection of essential hand tools and basic materials. Ten original projects cover approaches for framing canvases and stretched canvas artworks, building standard and box frames from readily available timber, and creating a mirror frame in 60 minutes from a single plank of wood.

Clear step-by-step photographs, easy instructions and practical insider tips guide you through cutting mount-board and glass, alongside decorative finishes such as easy gilding, decoupage, and copper embossing. Warren’s approach centres on accessible creativity, with hand-painted or hand-made finishes, including a simple paint effect made from household emulsion paint, water and wire wool.
