Project Update
Twenty-six Illustration & Design third year graduating students along with Pauline Fresco and Neal Armstrong went on a field trip to Graphiscan (Lithography Presses) and also to Mirazed Serigraphie (Large Format Silkscreen Presses) printers in the South Shore area. The students were be able to see how silk screening, lithography and large format digital printing is done in our industry. We also stopped at Poutineville in Longueuil for lunch in between the trip, which Poutineville agreed to give all our students a 15% discount for lunch that day. The students had an educational, enriching and bonding experience.
