l’Été Ornementa

l’Été Ornementa invites visitors of all ages to discover the world of the Métiers d’art through a series of fun and immersive workshops (no booking required):

• the Participatory Fresco
  XXL colouring-in workshop

  
  In Clémentine Sourdais’ workshop, participants will collaborate to colour-in a giant drawing.
  Add your colours to the Maisons d’art du 19M and bring to life this collective fresco, conceived as an “exquisite corpse”: a work in constant evolution, augmented by spontaneous gestures, shout-outs, or thanks...

• the Library
  
Postcard-making workshop

  In Jeanne Tresvaux du Fraval’s library, you can make your own holiday souvenirs. 
Fold, cut, glue, and write: create your own postcard and envelope to take home or to send out. An invitation to rediscover the art of correspondence.

• the Cooleurs Game
  l’Espace des tout petits

  Hugo Béhérégaray’s game allows participants to create colourful worlds.
  Shapes to move around, modules to superimpose, rules to invent: a joyful, tactile playground for experimentation, complete with an XXL trunk full of games to choose from.
  

• At the Beach
  Weaving Workshop

   

  At the beach with Delphine Dénéréaz, you can learn to weave using the lirette technique.
  Using textile off-cuts, learn to embroider a collective seascape of waves and coral.

  An evolving work in which each gesture weaves a form of connection.

• Under the Parasol
  Passementerie workshop

  Under Amine Habki’s parasol, you can learn to braid, knot, and decorate.
  Make your own textile tieback using wool, string, and a bead, and learn the traditional techniques of passementerie.

• the Woven Garden
  Weaving and textile creation workshop using felt

  In Clémentine Pellegrin’s garden, weave labyrinths and plant felt flowers.
  This two-tiered workshop is open to young children, with a weaving trail; and to older participants, with the creation of a plant fresco with textile shapes.

• In the Ornementa workshop
  Ornementa Panels and LA CAGE charm bracelets

  On the Ornementa panels, the public is invited to learn about the skills of le19M and explore behind the scenes of contemporary creation and the Métiers d’art.
  At the same time, the LA CAGE duo invite visitors to make a charm bracelet redesigned for summer, using swimwear materials recovered from the stock of the Réserve des Arts de la Parcelle.

• the Souvenir Photo

  Pose with sea creatures in Marianna Ladreyt’s inflated decor.
  Seashells, killer whales, and manta rays all become part of a funny and sweet souvenir to capture, alone or with family or friends.

• the Beach Cabin
  Immersive sound experience

   In Lola Favre’s cabin, you can hear the sea.
  Close your eyes and let the sounds lull you to sleep... A sound bubble in the heart of the city, to escape to other shores for a few moments.

• the Theatre of Funny Faces
  Open-air play area

  Pablo Grand Mourcel’s theatre is a place to pull faces, play, and hide.
  Enter a world where you can interact with benevolent creatures, funny monsters, and shapes made of canvas and wood to be activated freely.

• the Hammock
  Installation

  The result of an encounter between artist Andrea Moreno and Atelier Montex artistic director Aska Yamashita, this original composition of terracotta rings and elements embroidered with woven bracelets, beads, chenille and sequins reinterprets the curtain as a hammock, an everyday object in Venezuela. An invitation to laze around during the Été Ornementa.

All workshops are free and open to the public, Wednesday to Sunday, 11am to 6.30pm.

Brodecast
Embroidery and podcast listening workshop

For l’Été Ornementa, la Galerie du 19M is inviting Brodecast back for new podcast-listening and free embroidery sessions.

For these new sessions, Brodecast invites you to look back on the origins of paid holidays and the way in which people reappropriated these moments of freedom and relaxation.

Animation every Saturday, 2.30 to 5.30pm

the Listening and Reading Room
A listening space run by Accalmie and La Petite Ourcq
