For those just starting out in picture framing it is nice to have a few good picture framing books and instructions. With the right instructions you can build almost anything, but sometimes it is necessary to have more instruction than a book can give you. Sometimes you just have to be shown how to frame a picture or cut a mat or block a needlepoint.

That's where these picture framing videos & DVD's come in. They are just like having a picture framing instructor standing by your side teaching you all the steps you would have missed just by reading a book. These are really good video's and DVD's that will teach you what you really need to know. Each video is 60 minutes long except for The Basics of Picture Framing which is 75 minutes long.
