Picture It Framed

Make your work look intentional, finished, and worthy of attention—without guessing, overthinking, or spending more than you need to.

You’ve done the hard part. You made the work.

But when it comes time to present it - mount it, frame it, or prepare it for display - everything suddenly feels uncertain.

Is this the right method?
Is this professional enough?
Will this distract from the work… or support it?

Picture It Framed gives you clear answers.

This on-demand workshop teaches you how to present textile and fiber artwork
so it reads as art!

Confident, intentional, and ready to be seen.

This course is for you if…

  • You make textile or fiber art and want it taken seriously 
  • You feel unsure about framing, mounting, or finishing options 
  • You’ve avoided shows, submissions, or sales because presentation feels intimidating 
  • You want practical instruction, not vague opinions or gallery snobbery 
  • You’re tired of guessing and second-guessing your decisions

You don’t need to change your work.
You need to present it professionaly.

"Just a quick note to tell you that I took your Picture it Framed years ago and you gave me the courage to start framing my “ quilts”.  
Not sure I would have had the courage to take that leap without this class and doing that really has changed my game completely.
 I now send my thread painted art work to many local galleries and compete more with painters etc.
And BEST of ALL, I am making what I love!"
-Shawn Delker

What changes when presentation is handled well?

  • Viewers focus on the art, not the mechanics 
  • Jurors and buyers understand your intent immediately 
  • Your work feels finished instead of tentative 
  • You feel confident standing behind it

This isn’t about trends or rules. It’s about making choices that serve the work you’ve already made.

What Picture It Framed teaches you

This is a practical, step-by-step course covering real presentation options used by working artists.

You’ll learn:

  • How to choose presentation methods that match your work and goals 
  • The pros and cons of different mounting and framing approaches 
  • How scale, depth, edges, and materials affect how work is read 
  • When simple presentation is stronger than elaborate framing 
  • How to avoid common mistakes that make good work look unfinished

Every lesson shows real examples, not just theory.
