Artistic & Professional Development Workshops
Cutting Your Own Exhibition Mats

This workshop is a practical, hands-on workshop limited to 8 participants, offered every several months.

Exhibiting photographers are often faced with astronomical costs for matting work for an exhibition. By teaching them how to cut and by offering them access to En Foco’s equipment (by appointment), photographers can take matters into their own hands. Additional workshops can be scheduled to accommodate demand – ask to be placed on our waiting list.

  • IMPORTANT: Participants MUST bring two 16x20” matboards, and a print to mat.
  • Archival Methods offers En Foco Members a 15% Discount (phone orders only; call En Foco for Membership Code)
  • Have an upcoming exhibit? Members will have access to equipment on Thursdays (by appointment only)
