PMA February 2010 : Page 23PMA 2010 on conserving and framing animation cels. S/R Labs is renowned for treatments and procedures developed to meet the exact- ing and particular needs of animation cels, drawings, backgrounds, and other forms of pre- and post-production art. Using the newest technologies, the team has recon- structed methods used in the creation of animated fi lms from all periods, and applies them in the traditional manner to preserve the integrity and longevity of the art. Stark also is director of Courvoisier Galleries of San Francisco, Calif., which recently introduced Courvoisier Miniatures. “You’re in for a treat, as I’ll have samples of this new and exciting line of artwork,” he says. Stretching canvas What do you do with a canvas that has no selvage, or a painting that has been cut off the original stretcher bars? How do you select and use stretcher bars, and properly stretch canvas and giclées printed on canvas? Rob Markoff , owner of Artrageous! in San Diego, Calif., says he cringes when he reads bulletin boards with “home remedies” that are completely incorrect for strip lining canvas. “I also read about framers making nonadjustable stretchers or choosing the incorrect stretcher bar stock because they don’t know better or don’t have the resources for custom fractional inch stretchers,” he says. Markoff will demonstrate the technique of strip lining canvas, and will show the proper use of 8XX polyester fabric and BEVA to add stretching selvage to canvas edges. Attendees will learn about stretch- ing supports, selecting the proper support, and a technique that will make stretching canvases – especially giclées – much easier. Markoff also will teach “Installing on Diffi cult Surfaces,” a reversible technique for installing art on glass, mirrors, smooth stone surfaces, marble, concrete or lathe, and plaster. PPFA 2010 also includes fabric wrap- ping sessions with Baer Charlton, CPF, Charlton Productions, Portland, Ore.; four advanced sessions on preservation framing with Hugh Phibbs, National Gallery of Art; roundtable discussions; and much more. T e conference also in- cludes certifi cation courses and exams; the PPFA Chapter Leaders Conference; and the International Framing Competition in Hall C of the Anaheim Convention Center. ■ Turn your photo waste into profit!
