Build your own Picture Frame 1S25
Age Group:
Adults
In this class, we will take rough lumber through the steps of milling, shaping, gluing, and finishing to create a splined miter frame! We will also cover cutting plexiglass and backing board to create a product ready for install.
Walk away with your own custom frame and the skills to make many more! Students will decide the dimensions of their frame. The frame dimensions can be as small as 6"x6" and as big as 18"x24".
The second day of the workshop, Saturday 5/24, will be 4:30-7:30P (one hour shorter than the first day).
*The make up date for this class will be Saturday 5/31 at 4:30 PM if needed.

They earned their BA and BFA through the combined program between Tufts University and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, where they studied material culture and studio art. Isaac has a passion for understanding how things are made, loves spending time in the woodshop, working with their hands, and experimenting with different methods and processes of making. Isaac’s practice seeks to reconcile their identities as a woodworker and designer with their political commitments, examining themes of status, taste, quality, and ethical consumption. In the classroom, they emphasize process over product, fostering a collaborative, lighthearted environment—filled with music, lively conversation, and plenty of curiosity.
