[Exposure Trip]
Learning beyond the classroom! 🌿✨

Benilde Industrial Design students recently embarked on an enriching exposure trip to Pampanga, where they explored the artistry and craftsmanship behind the region's renowned manufacturing and production industries.

From pottery and metalworks to furniture making and lighting design, students gained firsthand insights into traditional techniques, innovative processes, and the dedication of local artisans and makers. Experiences like these bridge classroom learning with real-world practice, inspiring creativity, appreciation for craftsmanship, and a deeper understanding of the industries that shape our communities.

Here's to learning through experience and discovering the value of Filipino craftsmanship! 💚

Special Thanks to our Hosts :
Sir Willand Kabigting of Asia Ceramics, Inc.
Mrs Myrna Bituin & Ms. Leslie Bituin-Mendiola of JB Woodcraft
Sir Matthew Brill of Prizmic & Brill Valises et Compagnie
Sir Cris and Ms. Jackie Venzon of Venzon Lighting & Objects
