Matting and Framing Tutorial

In this video I walk you through matting and framing a fine art photograph including talking about the supplies and tools I use in my print studio.

9 years, and this is still the best tutorial on youtube.

This is one of the best tutorials I have seen in any field. Thank you for not having a heinous intro and outro, advertising yourself beyond reason, terrible music. 10/10, excellent for everyone at any level. Thank you

So many YouTubers could learn from you. This is so exemplary of how to do an instructional video. No unnecessary info, music, just what people are searching for! Bravo!

Watching you matte and frame this photo is just as good as watching somebody make any piece of art. The framing itself is an art!

9 years later and this video is still relevant! I learned so much from your demonstration. Thank you!

I wasn't even interested in learning how to matte and frame until I watched the first 60 seconds.  Great explanation the whole way through!

I've probably watched this tutorial so many times, and I never get tired of it. So professional and informative. Thanks Robert!

Absolute case study in tutorial videos. Thank you for making this Robert!

Just discovered this video, 7yrs later after it was posted, and was a HUGE help towards my own crafts. Thank you so much!!

Greetings from Ireland. As usual, another great video. Might be worth mentioning that if you are using coated glass that it is best to stay away from ammonia based glass cleaners as they can remove the coatings on some glass! Also, I would recommend leaving inkjet prints for 24 hours before framing to lessen the gassing out effect which can leave a ghost image on the glass. Must catch up again soon Robert, Sheldon

Me at the start of this video: I’m not actually gonna watch a 20 minute video on framing a print...
Me 20 mins later: wow, that was awesome.

This is the most articulate, precise and professional video tutorial I've ever seen on youtube. Thank you so much for sharing. It would be great if you could provide a link to the list of supplies in the description of the video.

This is simply superb. You are a natural teacher and instructor. Thank you for sharing your gift.

[shimarlie]

Great tutorial. That mat cutter is freaking awesome.

Outstanding presentation: professional snd thorough. I appreciated Mr. Rodriguez’s attention to detail and the steps necessary to ensure a perfectly clean, framed photograph. It was also very helpful to learn the type and brand of tools that he uses.
Many thanks!

I have seen some framing videos but none like this one. You make it look so clean and professional. I want to take this up as a hobby now.

10 years later and this video still relevant. Great content.

I am preparing for an exhibition in Feb next and I am looking at doing the framing and matting myself. This is the best matting and framing tutorial on YouTube. I discovered it years ago but alway come back to it. Thank you.

Wow this was incredibly informative and very well done. I was just looking for a way to frame a few prints I want to buy and this answered literally every question I had and some I didn't even know I needed to ask. I don't think I'll be buying the heavy duty mat cutter, tape gun, or anti-reflective glass but I feel I can find simple replacements for those since I'm not mass producing and could probably get away with a few imperfections. Thank you so much for the awesome tutorial!!
