Our take on this event
Stop leaving your favorite prints tucked away in a drawer and finally master the craft of professional framing. Through this hands-on workshop, you will learn to construct elegant mounts and custom displays that give your art the spotlight it truly deserves.
The Paris-Ateliers Reuilly center in the 12th arrondissement is hosting a specialized framing workshop from February 8 to February 12, 2027. Designed for participants aged 16 and older, this five-day intensive course guided by instructor Maryvonne Le Chevalier covers a wide range of professional mounting and framing techniques. Attendees must bring five to six subjects for framing along with their own glass and molding materials. Limited to a small group of seven people, the workshop ensures hands-on instruction in methods ranging from English bevels to creative box framing and intricate cutouts.
From Monday, February 8 to Friday, February 12, 2027, join this workshop at Paris-Ateliers Reuilly to refine your framing skills. Sessions run daily from 09:30 to 17:00, including a lunch break between 12:30 and 14:00. The curriculum focuses on essential and advanced techniques, including 45° English bevels, 90° contemporary bevels, and mounting subjects within box frames or between two sheets of glass. You will also learn to handle delicate materials like silk or fabric for passe-partout work, as well as calculate precise margins and perform contour cutting.
The course is open to anyone aged 16 and over. The standard fee is 490 €, with a 10% discount available for those already enrolled at Paris-Ateliers. For professional training purposes, the cost is 1200 € TTC. To participate, please ensure you bring your own projects—specifically 5 to 6 items to frame—along with the required wood moldings and glass. Given the strict capacity of seven attendees, early registration is highly recommended.
