Wide format signage and display distributor Spandex and Avery Dennision continued their national vehicle wrapping tour with an apprentice workshop at the Polytechnic West premises in Perth.
“It's through these opportunities from leading suppliers like Spandex and Avery, who are willing to be involved with tomorrow’s Signage professionals, that the high standards required for vehicle graphics and other applications are assured,” said Polytechnic West Signage tutor Alan Peardon.
Spandex WA State Manager Russell Barnes agreed. “This continues a number of workshops across Australia in the TAFE Training Centres and has been very successful, with apprentices benefiting from hands-on application of vinyl to difficult curves and contours of vehicles.”
Theo Kostarakis from Avery Dennison delivered an instructional and practical course that was well received by apprentices who were able to use the latest in vinyl technology and walk away with a better understanding of products and the tools to do the job.
Apprentice participants were:
Jack Brice and Phil Tremewen - Signs and Lines
Darnell Mitchell - City Signs
Eric Simmons - Trident Signs
Jack Imberti – Glenway Signs
Nathan Brown – Geraldton Signmakers
Gera Kazakov – Signs Ahead
Ryan Smith-Halvorsen – Prime Signs Creative FX
