Matting and Framing Works on Paper

Jamye Jamison, Associate Paper Conservator

October 27, 2011



Works on paper are inherently fragile. Proper matting and framing can help protect them from damage caused by light, changes in temperature and humidity, insects, dust and other pollutants. This class will review how best to attach paper objects to mats and how to choose the best materials for the job, with an emphasis on conservation grade materials and techniques. This class is perfect for artists, library or gallery staff, and framers - anyone who has to frame works on paper for exhibition or sale.
