Picture framing course
Learn the craft from an expert
At Cami, we believe that being a great supplier means more than just delivering materials. That's why we offer a hands-on professional framing course for both beginners and experienced framers looking to expand their skills. The course is run by Jean Salgaro, a professional framer with 30 years of experience. Every session takes place right here at our headquarters in Ostend.
Five days of practical learning
The course runs over five consecutive days (Monday to Friday) and combines short technical demonstrations with immediate hands-on practice. By the end of the week, you'll have worked through the full framing process from start to finish with the guidance of an expert at every step.
Practical information
The course is held at Cami's headquarters in Ostend, Belgium. It is taught in French. Dutch translation is available upon request at no additional cost.
