John Ferdico
Wednesday, April 2, 6:00–10:00 PM
$50 / $40 UCB students

The presentation of photographs, drawings and prints is greatly enhanced by an expertly cut overmat. In this workshop, students will learn to cut mats for a fraction of the cost paid to a framing shop. The workshop will train students to operate the Art Studio’s Logan 650 professional-quality, table-top mat cutter. In addition, the course will introduce matting materials and supplies, efficient and safe working practices and strategies for presentation. During the workshop, each student will have an opportunity to cut a mat. Upon completion of the workshop, students may continue to cut mats on the Art Studio’s mat cutter for the remainder of the semester. ASUC Art Studio safety certification issued at conclusion of course. This certification is required to use the mat cutter at the ASUC Art Studio.
