This week’s meeting – Let’s Get Physical
- When
- Wed 25th June 2014, 19:30
- Where
- Karori Arts and Crafts Centre
The meeting on the 25th is about matting and printing. We will take a
look at different ways that we do matting.
At the end of the evening, hopefully your appetite will have been whetted
to do some more yourself. Or if you don’t want to go down that route, you
should have an appreciation of what is involved.
Can I ask those who have matting gear to bring their stuff along? And be
prepared to matte up a photograph of your own or to do one for someone
else?
And for others if you have a 5×7 or 8×12 photo that would like matted,
can be you bring that along as well?
I have some mattes and some backing board that we can use. And will be
bringing along my gear as well as the Karori Camera Club Photo Frames.
