Mat Cutting Workshop

How to Cut a Mat Using the Mat Cutter at TS

Tuesday, 2/4/25  from 9:30 - 11 am

Suzanne will show how to:

  • measure your artwork

  • choose the size and color of mat board that you want

  • measure the mat board for cutting

  • how to use the mat cutter to cut the opening

  • how to attach your artwork to the mat

There will be random pieces of mat board to practice on.

You are welcome to bring a small (up to “8x10”) artwork you would like to cut a mat for. BYO mat board or use one of our pieces.

Pro Tip!!

If you go to a frame store (I always have luck at big picture framing in Arlington or Belmont) and ask for the mat board scraps they are throwing out they will give you a bag of mat board leftovers. Perfectly good mat board, saved from the recycling bin!
