Live Event: Bespoke framing with Yu Nagaba

Live Event: Bespoke framing with Yu Nagaba

On February 28, our framer Nils showed us how a hand-made frame for Yu Nagaba’s print was created. Rewatch the livestream from start to finish.

To empower our community to collect, curate and frame their own pieces, we hosted an event that explored the world of bespoke framing with the help of family-run, Amsterdam-based business, Krutzmann.
