Part One: Photographing Artwork Using Your Phone or Tablet
This session will teach you how to take clear, well-lit images of your work using your mobile devices. Whether you’re sharing on social media, submitting to exhibitions, or selling online, this skill is essential for presenting your art at its best.

Part Two: Packing Artwork for Postage
Learn simple and effective ways to protect your art in transit, whether it’s framed, mounted, or on paper. We’ll walk through materials, techniques, and tips to make sure your artwork arrives safely and beautifully.

What to Bring: Please bring the phone and/or tablet you’ll be using to photograph your artwork.

Also do feel free to bring one of your own pieces of artwork to practice on. Not too big, A3 and smaller, and with no glass. Also to bring a small table cloth, plain, no pattern, light coloured.
