Sundays, 10-11:30 am (stop in early for coffee and bagels)

Registration: Register by phone at 414-446-8794, or at the door. Walk-ins welcome.

Bruce Knackert manages Lynden's indoor collection of paintings, small sculpture and works on paper. In this series, he demonstrates framing practices and pitfalls for works on paper to help you speak knowledgeably to framers and preserve your own collection.

August 28: Float Framing
Online registration closed. Walk-ins welcome.
Float presentations are used when the artwork has a deckled or uneven edge, or when the entire image is critical and it is important that nothing is covered. It is also used on artwork that is dimensional or doesn’t lie flat, which then requires the use of a spacer to separate it from the glazing.

October 23: Archival Mats, Mounts and Framing
Online registration closed. Walk-ins welcome.
Working with a piece from the Lynden collection with clear signs of the effects of improper matting (in this case, an untitled Arpels watercolor showing the Manhattan skyline with Brooklyn Bridge, purchased in 1965), Knackert will unframe and then reframe the work step-by-step, discussing and demonstrating options for proper glazing, matting, and mounting along the way.
