  Feature Article - Training and Qualifications

  

It is not uncommon for the PFGA to be asked questions about training and qualifications in our industry. What appears to be relatively unknown is the fact that nationally recognized training qualifications have existed in our industry for some years now. The training is provided by Registered Training Organizations (RTOs) who are registered by State and Territory training authorities. Click here to see the full story.

Important information about light damage

UV light is without doubt the most damaging form of light to artwork, but it is important to recognise that other light sources and factors will also have an effect long term. When light damage is referred to in regards to artwork, damage can be related to colour pigments in the art itself (all paint mediums), thread textile materials (the colour and the material itself), and chemical reactions that occur with UV light and moisture (ever present in the fibres and framing package) that cause a breakdown in the cellulose base in paper fibres and other textile materials. Damage to artwork is cumulative and permanent. It is also irreversible.
