Education & Training Meeting: Matting Tutorial with Bob & Willa Friedman

At this month’s Education and Training session, Bob and Willa will present a how-to/hands-on matting seminar to help members prepare their images for print competition, exhibits or for personal use.  They will present how they cut and mount photos.  They use the “Corey Hilz Method” for cutting and mounting. Other methods and instructions for mat cutting and a spreadsheet can be found on the NVPS website. B & H also has a video at: https://www.facebook.com/bheventspace/videos/10158530160515462/ Everyone’s method is different. The B & H demonstrator tapes the image to the backboard; we don’t do that for a number of reasons. There are also several mat cutters that have variations but in the end we all get the same result. After our brief demonstration, there will be several workstations around the room where several experienced members will demonstrate how they cut mat using their equipment.    This is a hands-on session, so bring a photo, not larger than 8.5 x11 to mat.  We will have mat board and other materials required to practice on. If you have a mat cutter, bring it to follow along.
