    In this hands-on workshop participants will design their own imagined buildings using ornamental elements modelled on those found in artist Morgan Melenka’s Project Space installation, A provisional vista, and will learn how to screen print their creation on paper.

    A provisional vista offers a collage of forms that reference architectural and decorative elements commonly found in our contemporary built environment, such as bollards, awnings, wind-resistant mesh banners, and ornamental architectural facades. Using sculpture and printmaking, Morgan Melenka reproduces, modifies and misuses the familiar forms and materials of physical structures to engage with the world of architecture.

    No experience required, all skill levels welcome. Workshop is for participants 16+. Registration is essential, space is limited.
