Live Webinar: Creating Custom Crates & Shipping Flat Prints

After learning hard lessons and hearing horror stories from colleagues, I welcome you to my MasterMind webinar on protecting both flat and framed art during shipping and storage, along with best practices (that won’t break the bank) for storing photographic prints.

Thursday, November 16, 2023 from 1:00 pm - 2:45 pm CST

Once you get that print sale, how do you ship framed work safely? What practical decisions minimize damange and keep costs low? What tools and materials are needed (hint: let Home Depot do the cutting)? How much should you charge for a shipping crate? What is the most cost effective method to ship? What about sending an unframed print to a gallery? What about soft packing framed work for local transport or art storage in a damp basement?

I'm eager to share my enthusiasm and lessons learned with a goal of helping you protecting your photographic work. Topics include:

  • Designing the Crate

  • Constructing the Crate

  • Securing the Artwork

  • Finishing Touches

  • Testing and Quality Control

  • Best Practices for Shipping Art

Shipping framed art isn’t a project you want to do quickly. I promise to help the process go as quickly while treating your work with the respect it deserves.

The LIVE webinar is open to all levels. The class is $75 and will take place virtually via Zoom on Thursday, November 16, 2023 from 1:00 pm - 2:45 pm CST. After the presentation there will be time for Q&A. The session will be recorded and sent out to all participants with additional materials after class.
