Meeting Photo Recap: Miniature Requirements Presentation by Lin McCay

This past Saturday we had a great meeting over at the Bear Canoyon Senior Center. Lin McCay joined us to give an excellent and informative presentation about requirements for miniatures in preparation for the upcoming Masterworks show. Her presentation included a LOT of information about framing for miniatures and how miniatures are scored before the judges even see the submitted works.

Here are some of the supplies Lin brought as examples of various approaches to framing and supplies.

What an awesome turnout!

Member Question: Archival Matting/Framing

This question comes from member and President, Betty Lehnus: I have a neighbor who needs to re-mat but not re-frame a watercolor that's a family heirloom; she's asked me where to go and I generally do my own mat cutting & framing so I have no recommendations. Do any of our members have a suggestion?

CHALLENGE: I've noticed that we rarely get comments here on our blog, which is set up to be an ideal forum for discussion - why is that people? I hereby challenge you to post a comment to this question - even if it's to say you have no idea.
thanks
