Hi. Just wondering how everyone started out in framing & when can I actually call myself a framer??
There seems to be no regulations and few courses available hear in Sydney (unless I am yet to discover some). I have no shop experience (but looks like I have secured a Saturday job in a framing store) and a 4 day course behind me.
I have done a handful of framing jobs for friends and more recently for a small gallery owner and a local high school. It looks like my work load is about to increase!
There is so much yet to learn but, being middle aged, I feel I have to fast track!! (I feel like a fake for claiming to be a custom picture framer and yet have had no complaints about my framing jobs.)
How and at what stage of life did other framers begin - I would be interested in your stories if you would like to share.
Thanks:sneakiness:
