The summer 2015 Jacquard workshop series has concluded. Special thanks to our teacher, Louise Lemieux-Bérubé, who shared so many new Pointcarré design skills with us. We are all so grateful to have had this opportunity, offered as part of the Material Codes: Ephemeral Traces project, funded by the FRQSC.
