All About Framing - Learn to Frame
Course description
About the course
Explore how to frame clothing memorabilia such as sports jerseys. It is similar to 3D box framing, but more specialized. You will leave the course with a framed sports jersey that would cost in the region of £185 - £220 to frame if completed by a high street framer.
What will the course cover?
The content for this day is similar to the process outlined in 3D Framing however there is no need to build a box frame. Instead, we cover some techniques specific to framing sports jerseys and clothing.
Through clear explanation, demonstration and hands-on practice, you will learn the principles of:
- How objects and collectable can be displayed.
- How to create depth in a frame.
- How to support clothing in a frame.
- Methods of attaching onto a backboard.
You will also be using a range of previously acquired framing skills when:
- Building a deep rebate frame.
- Creating a spacer frame.
- Designing and making a support insert.
- Sewing in the supported item.
- Assembling the whole, framed object.
- Using appropriate fixings for hanging this type of frame.
Suitability - Who should attend?

The venue is located outside of the town centre and access to food vendors is limited. To keep the course running on time for all students, we request that students bring a packed lunch with them. We will provide all teas & coffees.
Something to Frame:
For this special session, you should bring along a sports jersey or similar item of clothing to frame. Please note that we will be folding between 25% & 40% of the shirt under the mount, so signatures below that fold point may be lost from view (height from collar to fold 460 mm).
