Several months of work will be necessary to repair this enameled Way of the Cross, made by Albert Gilles and his first wife, Violet Vincent Gilles, in the 60s. Bernadette M. Gilles and her daughter Diane repair the enameled parts, while Palmyre refurbishes the brass frames.

Composed of aluminum and copper, this self-supporting prize was designed and developed by all our team. A first for us, by using a new material, aluminum, which confers modernity and sleek style to this creation. This award will be presented annually to employees and elected officials of the MRC Côte de Beaupré, who have contributed through their work to the good management and administration of our region.

We were surprised to receive the award we had created with our hands! Our resilience, originality, and creativity in these years of pandemic, allowed us to set up and offer our virtual tour and to look for new markets.

Proud to have participated in the creation of the award offered to the recipients during the « Soirée de la Rentrée 2021 » organized by Développement Côte-de-Beaupré.

Designed primarily for students and teachers who cannot travel to our art studio during this time of pandemic, we have developed a brand-new virtual tour for school groups. Everything is there: geology, history, art, and culture, presented in a fun and interactive way, and which responds to the school curriculum. The virtual tour concludes with a « Repoussé » workshop in class or at home for the pleasure of learning while having fun.
