BOTANICAL ART & ILLUSTRATION PROGRAM

Matting & Floating Artwork Winter/Spring 2011

Instructor: Susan Rubin (email: susan@susanrubinstudio.com )

Note: An $8.00 prep and accessory materials fee will be requested at first class. I will supply mats, backing, tape, hinges, tools, blades and incidental materials. In addition to discussion, handouts, and demonstration, you will actually cut one mat and create one floated image in this workshop. Small botanical (or other) pieces to mat and float Piece to mat: Artwork in any medium is fine as long as the image will fit comfortably into a 5 X 7 mat opening. The paper size must be larger than the 5 X 7 opening. If you are in doubt, bring a couple of options. Consider a classroom exercise, a little piece tucked away in a file, or ANY 5 X 7 artwork. Piece to Float: The image must be small enough to rest comfortable on an 8X10 backing with open space around all sides. Bring something small or something that can be brought down to size. Pencil and paper for figuring sizes Ruler Exacto knife Repositionable Scotch Tape (blue plaid packaging)
